Equipment
Ingredients
- 24 tortilla chip scoops
- 2 cups cooked chicken chopped finely
- 1/4 cup finely diced red onion
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro
- 1 cup shredded cheese Tex-Mex blend or cheddar works well
Instructions
- Finely chop the chicken and mix it with the diced red onion, chopped cilantro, and shredded cheese.
- Fill each tortilla chip scoop with a heaping tablespoon of filling. It will shrink so really mound it high.
- Bake the tortilla chip cups in a preheated 350-F oven for 5 minutes or until the cheese has melted.
- Top with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
Notes
Chef Jenn's Tips
- You can make this tasty appetizer recipe ahead of time. Mix the filling and keep it in the fridge until you're ready to bake them.
- If you fill the cups ahead of time, you risk them getting soggy. I was able to re-crisp leftovers by toasting them in the air fryer for about 3 minutes on 400-F. But watch they don't burn!
- Don't like cilantro? Skip it!
- Want it spicier? Add a bit more chipotle powder or even some finely diced jalapenos to the mix.
- This recipe makes 24 scoops - but it's easy to double or triple it to make as many as you need!
