Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cups Cooked shredded chicken
- 1 packet Old El Paso Taco Seasoning Mix
- 0.5 cups Water
- 10 pieces Old El Paso Stand 'n Stuff Taco Shells
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Diced tomatoes
- 1.5 cups Shredded lettuce
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Chopped cilantro
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the shredded chicken to the skillet and stir to warm it through.
Sprinkle in the packet of Old El Paso Taco Seasoning Mix and add the water. Stir well to coat the chicken evenly. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until the mixture is heated through and slightly thickened.
Arrange the Old El Paso Stand 'n Stuff Taco Shells in a 9x13-inch baking dish, ensuring they stand upright.
Spoon the seasoned chicken mixture evenly into each taco shell, filling about three-fourths of the way full.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese generously over the top of the stuffed taco shells.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Carefully remove the tacos from the oven. Let them cool for 2-3 minutes before topping with diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, sour cream, and chopped cilantro.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Old El Paso Baked Spicy Chicken Tacos!
