Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it's hot enough for the perfect bake.
  2. Gather and measure all your ingredients, ensuring your sour cream is at room temperature.
  3. In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter, whisk in all-purpose flour for about a minute to create a roux.
  4. Combine the shredded chicken, frozen corn, and chopped green onions in a large bowl, then stir in the creamy sauce.
  5. Heat the corn tortillas in a skillet for 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
  6. Fill each tortilla with 2-3 tablespoons of the filling, top with mozzarella cheese, and fold.
  7. Bake the tacos in the oven for 12-15 minutes until the cheese is melted and tortillas are golden.
  8. Let the tacos cool slightly before serving with your favorite toppings.
