Ingredients
For the Tacos
- 12 pieces small flour tortillas (Easiest to fold and get crispy)
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or chopped (Rotisserie chicken works great)
- 6 slices bacon, cooked until crisp and crumbled
- 1 cup ranch dressing or ranch seasoning plus a little sour cream
- 2 cups shredded cheese, such as cheddar or Monterey Jack (Reserve some for sprinkling on top)
- 1 cup optional add ins (e.g., green onions, diced jalapenos, corn, hot sauce)
- 1 tablespoon oil or cooking spray (For crisping the tortillas)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a bowl, combine shredded chicken, crumbled bacon, ranch (or ranch plus a little sour cream), and most of the cheese, reserving a handful for topping.
- Warm tortillas in the microwave for 10 seconds to make them easier to fold.
- Lightly oil the tortillas using a brush or cooking spray.
- Spoon the filling onto each tortilla, fold, and place on a baking sheet.
Baking
- Bake for about 10 minutes.
- Sprinkle reserved cheese on top and bake for an additional 3 to 5 minutes until the tortillas are crisp and the cheese is melted.
- Allow to rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Notes
Use a sturdy baking sheet to prevent warping. These tacos are best served fresh, but leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. For best results, reheat in the oven.
