My take on the viral mini tacos. These little chicken and corn tacos bites are perfect for a party or for game day snacking. Feel free to experiment with shredded pork and/or beef instead of chicken and your favorite taco toppings!

Categories     World Cuisine     Latin American     Mexican     Main Dishes     Tacos     Chicken

Time 30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

10 (7 inch) flour tortillas
butter-flavored cooking spray
2 ½ cups cooked, shredded chicken
1 ¼ cups whole kernel corn, drained
1 ¼ cups salsa
¾ cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
½ cup sour cream

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Spray both sides of the tortillas with butter-flavored cooking spray. Cut small circles into the tortillas using a 2 3/4-inch round cookie or biscuit cutter. You should be able to get about 3 to 4 circles from each tortilla.
  • Flip two 12-cup muffin tins upside down. Fold tortilla circles into a taco shape and arrange each into the space between 2 cups so they hold their shape. Each muffin tin will hold 17 mini tacos.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until tacos are just starting to turn golden brown and crispy, checking every few minutes to make sure they don't burn, 5 to 8 minutes.
  • Mix together chicken, corn, and salsa in a skillet and set over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through, about 10 minutes.
  • Sprinkle cheese blend into the bottom of each taco shell, and fill with the chicken and corn mixture. Top with a dollop of sour cream.

CRISPY CHICKEN TACOS



Crispy Chicken Tacos image

For an a-maize-ing upgrade, this easy dinner recipe has you quickly fry soft corn tortillas in hot oil just until their edges are crisp. This turns them into a crispy handheld treat filled with a hearty mix of shredded chicken thighs and a quick homemade tomato salsa.

Provided by Lauryn Tyrell

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, patted dry
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 plum tomatoes, seeded and finely chopped (about 1 cup)
1/4 cup finely chopped sweet onion, such as Vidalia
1 jalapeño, ribs and seeds removed, finely chopped
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
Vegetable oil, for frying
12 small (6-inch) corn tortillas
Shredded iceberg lettuce, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. In a shallow baking dish, season chicken with salt and pepper; roast until a thermometer inserted in thickest parts (not touching bones) registers 160°, 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool slightly. Remove skins and bones (reserving skins); chop meat into bite-size pieces. Toss tomatoes with onion, jalapeño, and lime juice; season with salt.
  • Heat about 1/2 inch oil in a small skillet over medium until shimmering. One at a time, fry tortillas until golden, about 15 to 20 seconds a side. (They should be crisp around the edges but still pliable.) Transfer to paper towels; season with salt.
  • Fry reserved skins in oil, a few pieces at a time, until golden, about 1 minute per batch. Transfer to paper towels (they will continue to crisp). Once cool, roughly chop into small cracklings. Fill tortillas with chicken, cracklings, pico de gallo, and lettuce; fold and serve.
