Junior Chef: Chicken Tinga Tortilla Cups



This month momstown Edmonton's little chefs got to make some yummy Chicken Tinga Tortilla Cups! It was easy, delicious, healthy, and gave them full control over their lunch. The mamas loved it too! Here’s the recipe (slightly adapted from here):

Chicken Tinga Tortilla Cups

Ingredients:

6  whole wheat tortillas (6 inch)

2 cups shredded cooked chicken*

¾ cup red salsa

2 cups shredded lettuce

1 tomato, chopped

½ cup grated cheddar cheese



Directions:

  • Heat oven to 425°F.
  • Crumple 6 sheets of foil to make 6 (3-inch) balls; place on baking sheet. Place 1 tortilla over each ball; spray with cooking spray. Bake 6 to 8 min. or until tortillas are golden brown. (Tortillas will drape over balls as they bake to form cups.)
  • Combine chicken and salsa in microwaveable bowl; cover with waxed paper. Microwave on HIGH 2 min. or until heated through. (We put chicken breasts in the slow cooker in the morning, so when the kids were ready to cook the chicken was ready and hot, and just needed to be shredded.)
  • Fill tortilla cups with chicken mixture; top with remaining ingredients.  Enjoy!
