Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 small (6-inch) Flour tortillas
- 2 cups (shredded) Cooked chicken breast
- 2 large Avocado
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup (diced) Cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 cup (minced) Red onion
- 0.25 cup (chopped) Cilantro
- 0.5 cup Shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
- 0.25 cup Sour cream
- 1 as needed Olive oil spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Using a round cookie cutter or a knife, cut each tortilla into smaller circles, approximately 3 to 4 inches in diameter.
Lightly spray a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil. Press each tortilla circle into the muffin cups to form a bowl shape.
Bake the tortilla cups in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until they are golden and crispy. Remove and let them cool.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, garlic powder, cumin, salt, black pepper, and lime juice. Stir until the chicken is fully coated.
In a separate bowl, scoop the avocado flesh into a bowl and mash it with a fork until smooth. Add a pinch of salt and additional lime juice (to taste) to the avocado.
To assemble, add a spoonful of the seasoned chicken into each tortilla cup. Top with a dollop of mashed avocado.
Layer on diced cherry tomatoes, minced red onion, and a sprinkle of shredded cheese for added flavor.
Garnish each cup with a small dollop of sour cream and chopped cilantro.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
