Chicken Tortilla Cups
- Cooking spray
- 4 large (10-inch) flour tortillas
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts, diced
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 small onion, diced
- 2 stalks celery, diced
- 2 carrots, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 14 .5-ounce can diced fire-roasted tomatoes
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 cup shredded monterey jack or pepper jack cheese
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and coat 4 cups of a muffin pan with cooking spray.
- Fold each tortilla in half, then form into a cone, overlapping the sides.
- Fold up the point of the cone slightly, then press the tortilla into the prepared muffin pan to form a cup shape; coat with cooking spray.
- Transfer to the oven and bake until golden and crisp, about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine the flour, cumin, chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl.
- Add the chicken and toss to coat.
- Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the chicken in a single layer and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 2 minutes.
- Add the onion, celery, carrots and bell pepper and cook until the vegetables begin softening, about 2 minutes.
- Add the tomatoes and chicken broth to the skillet and bring to a simmer.
- Cook until the vegetables are tender and the sauce thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the cilantro and season with salt and pepper.
- Divide the chicken mixture among the tortilla cups.
- Top with the cheese.
