Ingredients
  

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon taco seasoning

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

12 mini taco shells

1 cup shredded lettuce

1 cup diced tomatoes

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup sour cream

1/4 cup salsa

Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, add the boneless chicken thighs. Pour in the olive oil, followed by taco seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss the chicken until it's evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.

    Cook the Chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken thighs. Sear the chicken for approximately 6-8 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and a beautiful golden brown color is achieved. After cooking, remove the chicken from the skillet and allow it to rest for a few minutes before dicing it into small, bite-sized pieces.

      Warm the Taco Shells: While the chicken is resting, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Arrange the mini taco shells on a baking sheet and place them in the oven. Warm them for about 5 minutes, or until they become slightly crispy.

        Assemble the Crunch Stacks: Take each warm taco shell and begin filling it. Start with a generous spoonful of diced chicken at the bottom of each shell. Layer in a handful of shredded lettuce, followed by a portion of diced tomatoes, and then sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese. Finish off each taco stack with a dollop of sour cream and a spoonful of zesty salsa.

          Garnish: If desired, add a sprinkle of fresh cilantro on top of each taco for an extra pop of flavor and a touch of vibrant color.

            Serve: Present the assembled mini taco crunch stacks on a decorative platter. Serve immediately, inviting everyone to dive in and enjoy these delicious mini taco creations!
