Easy Baked Chicken Tacos

The easiest method to make chicken tacos for your family. Corn taco shells are stuffed with seasoned chicken, red onion, and cheese. They are baked until crunchy, and topped with lettuce, tomato, and sour cream. This post is sponsored by General Mills, but all opinions are my own.

This neat, and intelligent app will read the date of purchase, and qualifying items and credit your account.

I was able to earn our school almost $1 with very little effort.

As a former teacher and active volunteer in my kids’ school, I know how important the PTO is. Our school is always looking for ways to earn and the Box Tops for Education program has always been huge.

I myself was a faithful clipper, but have recently switched to digital. We hope you all will consider doing the same. It is really super easy and you can earn Double Box Tops*, exclusively at Walmart.

Our kids LOVE General Mills brands like Cinnamon Toast Crunch™ Cereal, Yoplait® GoGurt®, Nature Valley™, Totino’s™ Pizza Rolls™, Old El Paso™ and Annie’s™ Shells & White Cheddar Macaroni & Cheese. Right now, through January 31, 2020 you can help your school earn more!

Baked Chicken Tacos Ingredients

I always have a few boxes of Old El Paso Hard Taco Shells or Kits on-hand. That is what inspired me to share this super easy Chicken Taco Bake with you all. It is a perfect meal for busy weeknights and features simple, easy to find ingredients.

• 2 Old El Paso™ Taco Dinner Kit, Hard and Soft Shell (11.4 oz) (use the hard shells and reserve the soft taco packs, and extra spice/sauce for another night)

• 1 lb white meat chicken
• 1 packet of Old El Paso™ Taco seasoning (in kit)
• 1 packet of Old El Paso™ Taco Sauce (in kit)
• 1 cup of lettuce
• 1/2 cup shredded cheese

Make them

1. Cut the chicken into tiny, bite-sized pieces.
2. Add the olive oil to a large skillet with the chicken and cook for 8 minutes.
3. Sprinkle the taco seasoning pack into the skillet and coat the chicken. Pan-fry for another 3 minutes.
4. Once done, remove from heat and set aside.
5. Line an baking sheet with taco shells. These usually fit 12- 15 comfortably.
