  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 10 servings

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 10 medium 7.5-inch flour tortillas
  • 1 (15-oz) can refried beans
  • 5 cups shredded cooked chicken (such as from a rotisserie chicken)
  • 1 ¼ cups grated Mexican cheese blend
  • Avocado cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prepare for baking.
  2. Assemble Tacos: Spread 2 tablespoons of refried beans on one half of each tortilla. Top the beans with ¼ cup of shredded chicken, then sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the grated Mexican cheese blend over the chicken.
  3. Fold and Seal: Fold each tortilla in half over the filling and press lightly to seal. Lay the folded tacos flat onto the prepared baking sheets, ensuring they do not overlap.
  4. Spray Tacos: Lightly spray both sides of each folded taco with avocado cooking spray to help them crisp up beautifully in the oven.
  5. Bake: Place the baking sheets in the oven and bake the tacos for 10 minutes. Then carefully flip each taco and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until they are lightly browned and crispy.
  6. Serve: Allow the tacos to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauces or toppings for a delicious meal.

Notes

  • Using pre-cooked rotisserie chicken helps speed up the preparation.
  • You can substitute flour tortillas with corn tortillas if preferred, though they may be less pliable.
  • Try adding toppings such as salsa, sour cream, or guacamole to enhance flavor.
  • Make sure to spray both sides of the tacos with cooking spray to achieve optimal crispiness.
  • Leftover tacos can be stored in the fridge and reheated in the oven to maintain crispiness.
