Oven Baked Spicy Chicken Tacos
Oven Baked Spicy Chicken Tacos
Yields: 10 tacos
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 pound cooked chicken, shredded
1 (1 ounce) packet Hot Taco Seasoning
1/2 cup onion, diced
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomato, drained
1 (4.5 ounce) can chopped green chiles
10 Stand and Stuff Taco Shells
1/2 (16 ounce) can refried beans
2 cups mexican blend cheese, shredded
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 400F. Spray a 9x13 baking dish with nonstick spray and set aside.
Heat olive oil over medium heat in a medium skillet.
Add onion to skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
Stir in the chicken, taco seasoning, tomatoes, and green chiles. Stir to combine fully. Reduce to simmer and allow to cook for 5-8 minutes.
Place the taco shells in the baking dish, standing up. I was able to fit 10 taco shells in the dish by adding 2 on each side.
Spoon 1 tablespoon of beans into the bottom of each taco shell. Top with the chicken mixture, almost to the top of each shell.
Sprinkle each shell generously with shredded cheese, the more the better!
Bake for 12-14 minutes or until cheese is fully melted and the edges of the shells are browned.
Remove from the oven and top with your favorite items such as jalapenos, sour cream, cilantro, and salsa.
