It’s deliciously crunchy, filling, and cheesy.

Tacos should not be reserved for Tuesdays. Actually, I believe I could eat tacos every day of the week without ever getting bored. But luckily, there are many ways to enjoy tacos. There are many more. These easy-to-make Baked Chicken Tacos are just a few examples. These are a great choice for any day of week because they’re quick and easy to make.
