Golden, cheesy baked chicken tacos filled with tender chicken, colorful peppers, and a creamy lime yogurt sauce. A family favorite ready in under 30 minutes!
There’s something irresistible about crispy, cheesy tacos fresh out of the oven — golden on the edges, bubbling with cheese, and filled with juicy, seasoned chicken and vibrant peppers. These Crispy Baked Chicken Tacos deliver all that goodness in under 30 minutes, topped with a refreshing lime yogurt sauce that cuts through the richness beautifully. 💛
Start by marinating your chicken cubes with olive oil, lime juice, salt, pepper, and spices — this helps the flavors penetrate deeply while keeping the meat juicy.
Slice the peppers and onions thinly for even cooking.
Heat a skillet and sear the marinated chicken for about 4–5 minutes until golden brown. Remove and set aside. In the same pan, sauté the onion for a minute, then toss in the peppers and cook until tender. Combine with the chicken and mix in a handful of cheese — it’ll melt into a deliciously creamy filling. 🧀
Warm your tortillas briefly so they don’t crack when rolling. Brush them with a touch of olive oil, fill with the cheesy chicken mixture, and roll them up.
Arrange the tacos vertically in a baking dish, sprinkle more cheese and corn on top, and drizzle with melted butter for that irresistible golden crust.
Bake at 190°C (375°F) for about 15–18 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden. ✨
While the tacos bake, whisk together Greek yogurt, lime juice, olive oil, garlic, chopped cilantro, salt, and pepper. Add a touch of honey if you like it slightly sweet.
Chill the sauce in the fridge for 10–15 minutes — it’ll thicken and taste even more refreshing when served cold.
Serve the baked tacos hot, drizzled (or dunked!) with this creamy, zesty sauce. 🌿
✅ Warm tortillas slightly before rolling to prevent cracking.
🌶️ Add jalapeños or a spoon of hot sauce if you want a spicy version.
🥦 For a vegetarian twist, swap chicken for mushrooms or tofu — the texture holds up beautifully.

Can I use ready-made taco shells instead of tortillas?
Yes! Skip the baking step and simply fill pre-made taco shells with the cooked chicken and veggie mixture, then top with cheese.
How can I make this recipe spicier?
Add extra chili powder, sliced jalapeños, or drizzle sriracha before baking for extra heat.
Can I prepare the filling in advance?
Absolutely — make it up to 2 days ahead and store in an airtight container. Just reheat before assembling.
Bring your next taco night to life with these crispy baked chicken tacos — crunchy, cheesy, and full of color. Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a fun weekend feast! 🎉
