TOTAL TIME
1
Preheat the oven to 400F.
2
Wrap the corn tortillas in a slightly damp paper towel and microwave for 45-60 seconds, flipping halfway through to make them easier to fold.
3
In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, diced bell peppers, chopped red onion, ground cumin, chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt, mixing well.
4
Place a spoonful of the chicken mixture on one half of each tortilla.
5
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top of the chicken mixture.
6
Fold the tortillas in half, gently pressing down to seal each taco.
7
If the tortillas tear, microwave them for an additional 15-30 seconds to make them more pliable.
8
Arrange the filled tacos on a baking sheet and place another baking sheet or flat surface with some weight on top to press them down, preventing them from opening during baking and helping the cheese fully seal the tacos.
9
Bake for 8-12 minutes or until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy, being careful not to burn them.
10
If necessary, remove the second baking sheet towards the end of cooking to help the tacos crisp up more.
