Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and lightly oil a baking sheet.
- In a cast iron skillet, heat canola oil over medium-high heat. Add ground chicken, diced sweet onion, and minced garlic, and cook for 3-5 minutes until browned.
- Drain excess fat, then stir in chopped green chiles, chili powder, smoked paprika, dried oregano, and ground cumin. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Remove from heat and mix in fresh cilantro and lime juice. Add shredded cheese and stir until melted.
- Spoon chicken mixture onto one half of a tortilla, add cheese, and fold to seal. Repeat for all tortillas.
- Arrange tacos on the baking sheet, brush tops with remaining oil, and bake for 12-15 minutes until crispy and golden brown.
- Let cool slightly before serving with toppings like salsa, sour cream, or guacamole.

Notes
Warm tortillas in the microwave before filling to prevent cracking. Avoid overstuffing to keep tacos intact during baking. For leftovers, reheat in the oven for best texture.
