Ingredients
2 cups cooked rotisserie chicken, shredded
6 slices turkey bacon, cooked until very crispy and crumbled
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup creamy ranch dressing
12 small flour street-taco tortillas
2 tablespoons olive oil, for brushing
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a large baking sheet.
In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, crumbled turkey bacon, and ranch dressing until well coated.
Lay the flour tortillas out and place a small amount of the chicken mixture in the center of each one.
Top the chicken with a generous pinch of the shredded cheese blend.
Fold the tortillas in half to create a taco shape and arrange them side-by-side on the baking sheet so they support each other standing up.
Lightly brush the exterior of each tortilla with olive oil to ensure maximum crispiness.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
Remove from the oven and serve immediately while warm.
Notes
Ensure you cook the turkey bacon extra crispy as it will soften slightly inside the taco from the ranch and heat. You can easily substitute the cheeses for a Mexican blend if preferred. Serve with extra ranch for dipping.
