My son's girlfriend made these for us a while back. They were so delicious, I just had to get the recipe from her! I made them at home and served them with shredded lettuce, tomato and my homemade https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/sauce-spread-salsa/fresh-guacamole.html

How To Make cream cheese chicken tacos

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425 degrees

Step 2

While oven is preheating, heat about a tablespoon of oil in a skillet. Fry tortillas, 1 at a time over medium heat until just very lightly browned. Repeat with all tortillas. Use more oil as needed. Set aside on a wire rack or paper towels to drain.
Step 3

Place the cream cheese in a sauce pan over low heat, Stir until cream cheese is completely melted.
Step 4

Add the shredded chicken, garlic, green onion, and cheddar cheese. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir until well combined.
Step 5

Divide the chicken mixture evenly between each shell. Place the taco shells in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Bake for about 8-10 minutes or until the shells are starting to brown well.
