Baked Chicken Tacos Recipe
Ingredients
10 Stand and Stuff Taco Shells
1 oz. Taco Seasoning
1/2 c. onion diced
1/2 lb cooked chicken shredded (you can use cooked rotisserie chicken)
1 tbsp olive oil
8 oz. Refried Beans 1/2 can
1 can (chopped) Green Chiles 4.5 oz., fully drained
1 can diced tomato 14.5 oz., fully drained
2 c. Mexican Blend Cheese shredded
Toppings like sliced Jalapenos, sour cream, salsa, chopped cilantro, shredded lettuce, or any of your preferred taco toppings
Directions
Preheat it to 400 degrees F. Using a nonstick spray, grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish.
In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the onion to the skillet and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes or until clear and aromatic.
Combine the shredded chicken with taco seasoning, drained tomatoes, and green chilies until well mixed. Decrease the heat to a simmer and cook for about 5 to 8 minutes.
In the baking dish, place the taco shells standing up. You can be able to fit about 10 taco shells in the baking dish. Just add them 2 per side.
Place in the preheated oven and bake the taco shells for about 5 minutes until crisp.
Take the taco shells from the oven and spoon around a tbsp of beans into the bottom of the taco shells. Top them with the chicken mixture to almost the top of each shell. Generously sprinkle the tops with shredded cheese.
Return to the oven and bake for about 7 to 10 minutes or until the cheese is completely melted and the shell edges are browned.
To serve, top the taco shells with your preferred toppings like jalapenos, sour cream, cilantro, and salsa. Enjoy!
