– 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)

Creating these satisfying 20 Minute Mini Baked Chicken Tacos is simple with these easy-to-follow steps:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet by spraying it with cooking spray.
2. In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground chicken and diced onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and browned, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Once browned, add taco seasoning to the skillet. Stir to combine, allowing the spices to coat the chicken evenly. Cook for another 2 minutes.
4. Remove the skillet from heat and add half of the shredded cheese to the chicken mixture, stirring until melted and well incorporated.
5. Take a mini flour tortilla, add about a tablespoon of the chicken mixture, and fold it over. Place it seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
6. Once all tacos are on the baking sheet, sprinkle the remaining cheese over the tops of the tortillas.
7. Bake the tacos in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the tortillas are crispy and the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
8. Remove from the oven and let cool for a couple of minutes before serving.
9. Top with diced tomatoes and any additional toppings of your choice, such as chopped cilantro or a dollop of sour cream.
10. Serve with salsa for an extra burst of flavor, if desired.
Following these steps, you will have a delightful plate of mini baked chicken tacos ready to impress!
