How to Make Cream Cheese Chicken Tacos
Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 425 degrees.
Step 2: Meanwhile, in a skillet, heat about a tablespoon of oil. Once heated, fry the tortillas, one at a time over medium heat until they are lightly browned. You can use more oil if needed. Transfer the tortillas on paper towels or on a wire rack to drain.
Step 3: In a saucepan, heat the cream cheese over low heat, stirring until completely melted.
Step 4: Add in the shredded chicken, garlic, green onion, and cheddar cheese in the saucepan. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir until incorporated.
Step 5: Evenly arrange the chicken mixture between each shell. Then, place the taco shells in a 9 x 13-inch baking dish.
Step 6: Place inside the preheated oven and bake for about 8 to 10 minutes or until the shells are beginning to brown well.
