Chicken Fajita Tortilla Cups image

If you like to impress when you cook, these are the appetizers for you. Perfect finger food for a small gathering, a work potluck or my favorite, a Cinco de Mayo party. These require a little bit of work to prepare, but are fun, festive and worth it. Garnish with sour cream if desired. I have served just as an appetizer with chips and salsa or along with my sour cream chicken enchiladas. Good with beer and/or margaritas.

Time 1h

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 (10 inch) flour tortillas
ΒΌ cup garlic-flavored oil, or as needed
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon finely chopped white onion
2 (6 ounce) packages grilled chicken strips, chopped
2 tablespoons fajita seasoning
1 large avocado, finely chopped
3 small Roma tomatoes, seeded and diced
2 tablespoons lemon juice
5 cloves garlic, minced, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Cut each tortilla into a 6-inch square using a pizza cutter. Cut each 6-inch square into four 3-inch squares, making 24 total. Use kitchen scissors to cut a 1-inch slit from each corner.
  • Brush garlic oil over both sides of the tortilla squares. Press squares into a mini muffin tin to create small, pointed tortilla cups.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Saute onion until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Add chicken and fajita seasoning; stir until blended. Remove from heat and let cool for about 20 minutes.
  • Combine avocado and tomatoes in a mixing bowl. Add lemon juice and garlic; stir to blend. Add the cooled chicken mixture and stir again until blended.
  • Spoon mixture into the tortilla cups. Serve immediately while tortilla cups are still crispy, or refrigerate for the next day.
