Ingredients

  • 10 (7 inch) flour tortillas

  • Yield: 34 tacos

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Spray both sides of the tortillas with butter-flavored cooking spray. Cut small circles into the tortillas using a 2 3/4-inch round cookie or biscuit cutter. You should be able to get about 3 to 4 circles from each tortilla.
  • Flip two 12-cup muffin tins upside down. Fold tortilla circles into a taco shape and arrange each into the space between 2 cups so they hold their shape. Each muffin tin will hold 17 mini tacos.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until tacos are just starting to turn golden brown and crispy, checking every few minutes to make sure they don't burn, 5 to 8 minutes.
  • Mix together chicken, corn, and salsa in a skillet and set over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through, about 10 minutes.
  • Sprinkle cheese blend into the bottom of each taco shell, and fill with the chicken and corn mixture. Top with a dollop of sour cream.
