Baked Crunchy Salsa Chicken Tacos

I love making tacos. Like, I really love making tacos. I love making tacos with avocados and salsa and a side of guacamole. I love making tacos with rotisserie chicken, sour cream, and cheese. But, I hate making tacos with chicken breast.  I hate making tacos with chicken breast because it’s dry and rubbery and doesn’t taste very much like chicken. The only way I could stand to make tacos with chicken breast is if I make them with baked chicken breasts.

Baked Crunchy Salsa Chicken Tacos. You’ve seen them, and you know they’re good. The perfect mix of crunchy, salty, and savory. But when you make them yourself, you can add whatever you want, and make it your own. You can make them a bit healthier by baking them instead of frying them. You can add just about any type of salsa to them. You can substitute any type of meat for the chicken.

I love chicken tacos, but what I didn’t love was the dry chicken. It just felt like dry chicken to me. So I decided to give the chicken a little help. I first marinated the chicken with some spicy taco seasoning and then baked it on a baking sheet. The chicken was so moist and delicious! Then, I topped it with some homemade salsa and some cheese. The flavor combination was perfect!. Read more about shredded chicken tacos recipe and let us know what you think.

Chicken Tacos with Salsa Crunch are cooked in the oven for a quick and tasty taco night for the entire family.

With 2 Ingredient Instant Pot Salsa Chicken and crispy taco shells, taco night is made fun and quick. These crispy tacos have a fast food feel to them, which is probably why my kids like them so much!

The greatest thing is that you can bake all 12 taco shells at once and they will remain erect for simple filling. Switch up the filling with ground beef, shredded pork, or simply refried beans and cheese using the same technique.

After the tacos have been cooked, add them with your favorite toppings. I used shredded lettuce and tomato, but I’ve also used guacamole in the past. Because guac is never in short supply at home!
