Description
Quick and easy sheet-pan tacos made with shredded rotisserie chicken, salsa verde, and cheese, baked until golden and crispy.
Ingredients
- 1 yellow or red onion, diced
- 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
- 8 oz rotisserie chicken breast, shredded (about 1 to 1¼ cups)
- ½ cup corn (canned drained/rinsed or frozen thawed)
- ½ cup black beans (canned drained/rinsed)
- ¾ cup salsa verde
- ½ packet taco seasoning (about 1–1½ tbsp)
- ¼ cup olive oil (for brushing tortillas)
- 10 tortillas (corn or flour)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)
- Toppings (optional): Pico de gallo, shredded lettuce, sliced avocado, Greek yogurt or sour cream, fresh cilantro, and green onions
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a sheet pan with parchment.
- Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic; sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3–5 minutes.
- Add shredded chicken, corn, black beans, salsa verde, and taco seasoning. Stir to combine and cook for about 5 minutes until warmed through and evenly seasoned.
- Wrap tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave for about 1 minute to soften.
- Brush the back (outside) of each tortilla lightly with olive oil. Lay tortillas flat. On half of each tortilla, sprinkle a layer of shredded cheese, then add about 2–3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture. Fold the tortilla over the filling to make a half-moon. Brush the top of each folded taco with a little more oil.
- Arrange folded tacos on the sheet pan (don’t overcrowd). Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the outsides are golden brown and crispy.
- Let cool for 2–3 minutes before adding fresh toppings like shredded lettuce, pico de gallo, avocado slices, Greek yogurt or sour cream, cilantro, and green onions.
Notes
For vegetarian tacos, swap shredded chicken with extra beans and sautéed mushrooms. Use low-sodium canned goods if watching salt. A light spray of oil can also enhance crispiness.
