Ingredients for Chicken Taco with Mortadella and Cream Cheese:

Chicken Taco with Mortadella and Cream Cheese

 

  • 1.5 kg of cream cheese (or Philadelphia cheese).
  • 1 large cup of mortadella, cut into small pieces.
  • 2 large cups of grilled chicken, cut into small slices.
  • 1 medium cup of finely chopped green onion.
  • ½ teaspoon of salt.
  • ½ teaspoon of black pepper.
  • 2 large cups of shredded cheddar cheese.
  • 10 taco shells with cheese flavor.

Preparation of Chicken Taco with Mortadella and Cream Cheese:

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (210°C).

  2. In a medium-sized pot, place the cream cheese over medium heat. Stir occasionally to ensure the cheese melts evenly without burning.

  3. Add the sliced chicken, mortadella, chopped green onion, salt, and black pepper to the melted cheese. Stir until the cheese has completely melted and the mixture becomes well-combined and smooth.

  4. Once the mixture is ready, remove the pot from the heat and add the shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until the cheese is fully incorporated.

  5. Line a baking tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Arrange the taco shells evenly on the tray.

  6. Distribute the cheese and chicken mixture evenly into each taco shell.

  7. Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for about 7 to 10 minutes, or until the taco shells turn golden brown.

  8. After baking, remove the tacos from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish.

You can serve these chicken tacos hot or warm, depending on your preference. Enjoy this delicious Mexican-inspired dish with family or guests!
