Whip up a quick and delicious dinner with these Mini Chicken Tortilla Boats! The spicy chicken filling, crispy tortillas, and melted cheese create a perfect combination that's sure to delight the whole family. It's an ideal choice for a weeknight dinner or even for gatherings with friends. Easy to prepare, yet hearty and full of flavor.

Steps

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 190°C (170°C for fan-assisted ovens). Dice the chicken breast, chop the onion and bell pepper. Prepare a baking dish.

Make the Filling

Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened. Add the diced chicken breast and cook for 5-8 minutes until it turns white and is cooked through. Season with ground cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stir in the tomato paste, drained corn, and black beans. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the flavors meld.

Fill Tortillas

Place the mini tortillas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or in a baking dish. Spoon the chicken filling into each tortilla, then sprinkle generously with shredded cheddar cheese. Fold up the two sides of the tortilla to create a boat shape.

Bake and Serve

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the tortillas are slightly crispy. Remove from the oven and serve immediately. Garnish with a dollop of sour cream and fresh, chopped cilantro.

Extra Tips

► You can prepare the tortilla boats in advance and store them in the fridge before baking, making dinner quicker to serve.

► Vary the vegetables to your liking: you can add finely chopped zucchini, mushrooms, or even jalapeños for a spicier kick.

► If you prefer a creamier texture, mix a little cream cheese into the chicken filling before stuffing the tortillas.
