Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Bake the Chicken: Place the marinated chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Shred the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it cool slightly. Shred the chicken using two forks.
Assemble the Tacos: Warm the tortillas in a skillet or microwave. Fill each tortilla with shredded chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, and cheese. Top with sour cream and cilantro if desired.
Serve: Enjoy the tacos warm, with extra hot sauce on the side if you like it spicier.
