Easy Cheesy Chicken Tacos

These cheesy chicken tacos are so easy to make and perfect when you want something tasty without spending hours in the kitchen. They’re filled with chicken, peppers, onions, and melted cheese, then topped with sweet corn and more cheese. Honestly, you can’t go wrong with that combination!

Ingredients

• 6 small tortillas
• 600 g chicken breast, cut into small pieces
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 2 green bell peppers, chopped
• 1 red bell pepper, chopped
• A little oil for cooking
• Salt to taste
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• A pinch of chili flakes
• A little dried thyme
• Grated cheese
• Sweet corn for topping

How to Make Them

Step 1: Cook the Chicken

Heat a little oil in a pan and add the chicken pieces. Cook until the chicken is cooked through and the extra liquid has evaporated. Add the chopped onion, green peppers, and red pepper, then cook until the vegetables become soft.

Step 2: Add the Seasoning

Add the salt, paprika, chili flakes, and thyme. Give everything a good mix, then add a handful of grated cheese. Stir until the cheese melts and the filling becomes nice and creamy.

Step 3: Prepare the Tortillas

If your tortillas are too big, you can use a small bowl to cut them into smaller circles. This makes them easier to fill and fold.

Step 4: Fill and Fold

Put some chicken filling in the middle of each tortilla, then fold it closed. Arrange them close together in a baking dish so they stay in place. You can gently press them with the bottom of a glass to help keep them closed.

Step 5: Add the Toppings

Sprinkle sweet corn and plenty of grated cheese over the top. I mean, you can never really have too much cheese, right?

Step 6: Bake

Place the dish in a preheated oven at 170°C (340°F) for about 10–15 minutes, just until the cheese melts and everything is heated through.

Tips

• You can use mozzarella, cheddar, or any cheese you like.
• Add more chili flakes if you prefer your tacos spicy.
• Don’t overfill the tortillas, or they may open while baking.
• Serve them straight from the oven while the cheese is still melted.

What to Serve with Chicken Tacos

These tacos are great on their own, but you can also serve them with a fresh salad, crispy potatoes, or your favorite dipping sauce. Garlic sauce or a little spicy mayo would be delicious too.

Final Thoughts
