Instructions

  1. 1In a bowl, add the chicken pieces, salt, 1 tablespoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, black pepper, 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning, and 1 tablespoon oil. Mix well until the chicken is evenly coated.
  2. 2Heat a pan over medium heat with a little oil. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. 3Add the minced garlic and cook for 1–2 minutes, until fragrant.
  4. 4Add the diced onion, bell peppers, corn, and jalapeño (if using). Stir and cook for 3–4 minutes, until the vegetables soften slightly and chicken is cooked through.
  5. 5Lower the heat and add the cream cheese, lemon juice, and water. Stir until the cream cheese melts and forms a creamy sauce that coats the chicken and veggies. If the mixture seems too thin, simmer for 1–2 minutes until thickened. Taste and adjust salt if needed. Remove from heat.
  6. 6In a bowl, mix together mayonnaise, sour cream, 1 tablespoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, salt and pepper to taste, 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning, lime juice, hot sauce, and chopped cilantro to make the sauce.
  7. 7Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  8. 8Lightly brush one side of each tortilla with oil. Flip the tortillas over and spoon the chicken filling onto the un-oiled side. Sprinkle with cheese, then fold or gently press the tortillas closed.
  9. 9Arrange the tacos on a baking sheet and bake for 10–15 minutes, or until the tortillas are crispy and the cheese is melted.
  10. 10Serve the baked chicken tacos hot with the prepared sauce.
