Ingredients
-
2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
-
6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
-
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
-
1 cup shredded cheddar or Colby Jack cheese
-
⅓ cup ranch dressing (plus more for drizzling)
-
10–12 small flour tortillas (street-size)
-
½ teaspoon garlic powder
-
½ teaspoon onion powder
-
¼ teaspoon black pepper
-
Olive oil spray or melted butter (for brushing)
-
1 cup shredded iceberg or romaine lettuce
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 400°F. Lightly grease a baking dish or sheet pan.
-
In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, bacon, mozzarella, cheddar, ranch dressing, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
-
Warm tortillas slightly so they’re pliable. Spoon chicken mixture evenly into each tortilla and fold.
-
Arrange tacos fold-side down in the prepared baking dish.
-
Lightly brush or spray tops with olive oil or melted butter.
-
Bake uncovered for 15–18 minutes, or until tortillas are crisp and cheese is melted.
-
Remove from oven and top with shredded lettuce and a drizzle of ranch dressing.
-
Serve immediately.
Notes
-
Don’t overfill the tortillas to prevent splitting.
-
For extra crispiness, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end.
-
Rotisserie chicken works great for this recipe.
