Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or chopped (Rotisserie chicken works great.)
- 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled (Turkey bacon is an option.)
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing (Can substitute with ranch seasoning mixed with sour cream and milk.)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (Cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend can be used.)
- 8 pieces tortillas or taco shells (Flour tortillas recommended.)
Optional Toppings
- green onions, diced tomatoes, jalapenos, hot sauce (Customize according to preference.)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, combine cooked chicken, crumbled bacon, ranch dressing, and a handful of shredded cheese. Mix until creamy, not soupy.
- If tortillas crack when you fold them, warm them in the microwave under a damp paper towel for about 10-15 seconds.
Assembly and Baking
- Spoon filling into each tortilla, fold like a taco, and place on the baking sheet. Sprinkle with extra cheese on top if desired.
- Bake for 10-14 minutes until the tortillas are crisp and cheese is melted. Broil for 1 minute for extra color, watching closely.
Notes
For crispy tacos, avoid overcrowding the pan and consider lightly spraying tortillas with oil.
