Tacos are in our usual meal rotation, but I love to mix up the type of tacos we have. This version is made with chicken and corn tortilla.
This filling for these tacos is creamy and flavorful. Once the tortillas are filled with the creamy chicken filling, they get brushed with oil and baked until crispy.
This recipe makes 16 Crispy Creamy Chicken Tacos so it is a perfect filling meal or will even work as an appetizer.
