Description
These Creamy Cheesy Tacos are the ultimate comfort food — stuffed with juicy shredded chicken, cream cheese, sour cream, and gooey melted cheese, all wrapped in a soft flour tortilla and baked until golden. Perfect for a weeknight dinner, make-ahead meal, or family favorite you’ll want on repeat.
Ingredients
1 ½ cups shredded cooked chicken
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
½ cup sour cream
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
2 tablespoons chopped parsley or green onions
6 medium flour tortillas
1 tablespoon olive oil or cooking spray
½ cup extra shredded cheese for topping
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, mix together the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, sour cream, shredded cheddar, Monterey Jack, garlic powder, onion powder, and chopped parsley or green onions until creamy and well combined.
2. Warm the tortillas in the microwave or a skillet until soft and flexible.
3. Spoon about ⅓ cup of the creamy filling into each tortilla and roll tightly.
4. Arrange the rolled tortillas seam-side down in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
5. Sprinkle the extra shredded cheese over the top of the tacos.
6. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 18–20 minutes, until cheese is melted and tortillas are slightly crisp on the edges.
7. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
8. Garnish with extra herbs, sour cream, or hot sauce, if desired.
Notes
Make sure cream cheese is fully softened for smooth blending.
Don’t overfill tortillas to prevent them from tearing during baking.
You can make and freeze these ahead for easy future meals.
