Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 (4.7 ounce) package taco shells (I used Old El Paso Stand n’ Stuff)
  • 2 ¼ cups cooked, diced chicken (I used the meat from about half of a large store-bought rotisserie chicken)
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 (1 ounce) packet taco seasoning mix (12 teaspoons)
  • 1 can (16 ounces) refried beans (I used fat free, but any variety will work)
  • 1 ¼ cups grated cheddar cheese
  • Optional toppings: lettuce; salsa; additional sour cream; sliced olives; chopped green onion or fresh cilantro; chopped red onion; lime wedges; diced avocado or guacamole

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, stir together chicken, sour cream, and taco seasoning.
  3. To assemble, spread about 2 tablespoons of refried beans in the bottom of each shell. Top each shell with about ¼ cup of the chicken mixture and 2 tablespoons of cheese.
  4. Arrange stuffed taco shells, standing up, in the prepared baking dish. Bake for 5-7 minutes, or until cheese is melted and tacos are heated through.
  5. Garnish with optional toppings and serve.

Notes

  • Cooking Just for Two? Cut the ingredients in half and bake the chicken tacos in an 8-inch or 9-inch square dish.
  • Serving a Larger Crowd? Double the ingredients and use two large baking dishes to prepare twice as many tacos!
