I’ve been into baking my tacos recently. It’s a fun twist on the traditional build-your-own taco at the table, which we do a lot in our house. One of the reasons I love these baked tacos is you can batch-cook them and then freeze them. And, you can make these tacos your own, using what you enjoy and have on hand in your home. Our normal rotation is chicken, beef, or bean.

I use the Siete Foods Almond Flour tortillas. I buy the 20-pack from Costco at a fraction of what you’ll pay in a grocery store for 8 of them. And, I grab a Costco Rotisserie Chicken or two for $4.99 (you can buy the already-picked chicken, but it’s $15) and use that in these tacos. Love beans? Use refried or black.

Pre-heat your oven to 400

Chicken Tacos

Lay out tortillas on a sheet pan, slightly overlapping

In a large bowl add chicken, cream cheese, and taco seasoning

Mix well until thoroughly combined

Add cooked meat to a large bowl. If you want to use enchilada sauce this is the time to do it! Start with 1/2 C then see how it feels, you may need more.

Lay out tortillas on a sheet pan, slightly overlapping

Add the beef mixture on one half of each tortilla, then top with cheese, fold over gently

Once all tacos have been folded, lightly spray with avocado oil

I serve these tacos with avocado crema for dipping and rice on the side! You can choose between Mexican restaurant-style rice and black beans and rice for a little more protein.
