4. Wrap a stack of 6 tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave them for 30-60 seconds until they are soft and pliable enough to bend without cracking.
5. Add ¼ cup of the chicken mixture to one side of a corn tortilla. Top the chicken with about a tablespoon of shredded cheese.

7. Bake the tacos for 12-15 minutes on the middle rack, until the edges of the tortillas are golden brown and the melted cheese has started to crisp.
