Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced (rotisserie works great)
- 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar or Colby Jack cheese
- ⅓ cup ranch dressing
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 10–12 small flour tortillas (street-size)
- Olive oil spray or melted butter (for brushing)
Optional Toppings:
- Chopped green onions
- Diced tomatoes
- Extra ranch dressing
- Sour cream
- Hot sauce
Instructions
- Preheat Oven
Preheat oven to 400°F. - Prepare the Filling
In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, crumbled bacon, mozzarella, cheddar (or Colby Jack), ranch dressing, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix until evenly coated. - Warm the Tortillas
Warm tortillas slightly in the microwave (10–15 seconds) so they are soft and pliable. - Assemble the Tacos
Spoon filling into each tortilla. Fold gently and place seam-side down in a greased baking dish or on a parchment-lined baking sheet. - Brush and Bake
Lightly brush or spray the tops with olive oil or melted butter. Bake uncovered for 15–18 minutes, or until edges are crispy and cheese is melted. - Optional Broil
For extra crispiness, broil for 1–2 minutes, watching carefully. - Serve
Let cool slightly. Add desired toppings and serve warm.
Notes
- Do not overfill the tortillas to prevent spilling while baking.
- For extra crunch, use melted butter instead of oil spray.
- Leftovers reheat best in the oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness.
- You can prep the filling ahead and refrigerate up to 24 hours before baking.
