Easy baked chicken tacos loaded with seasoned chicken, creamy avocado, Chihuahua cheese, crema, and tangy salsa verde. A flavorful weeknight meal ready in about 25 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons taco seasoning (or your favorite seasoning; chipotle seasoning would be excellent as well)
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 8 corn tortillas
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1 cup Chihuahua cheese
  • 4 tablespoons crema
  • ½ cup salsa verde
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400℉.
  2. Lightly coat the chicken breasts with olive oil and sprinkle evenly with the taco seasoning.
  3. Bake for 20 minutes, then remove from the oven and allow the chicken to rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing, cubing, or shredding.
  4. Fill the corn tortillas with the baked chicken, sliced avocado, Chihuahua cheese, crema, and salsa verde. Garnish with cilantro if desired and serve.

Notes

  • Chipotle seasoning can be substituted for taco seasoning for a smoky flavor.
  • Allowing the chicken to rest before cutting helps retain its juices.
  • Chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165℉ for safe serving.
  • Warm the corn tortillas before assembling for the best texture.
