These Baked Chicken Tacos are the perfect dinner recipe. Stuffed with beans, chicken, and cheese then baked until crunchy.

When you are ready to serve let everyone top them with their favorite taco style toppings.

It doesn't have to be Tuesday for us to have tacos on the menu! We have tacos at least once a week around here and these Baked Chicken Tacos are a favorite. These tacos are seasoned with taco seasoning, salsa, and green chilies.

If you want a little more spice then try diced jalapenos instead of chilis. I added a spoon full of beans to the bottom then my seasoned chicken and shredded cheese. If you want more taco recipes on your menu then make sure to check out a few more of my favorites later.

How to make Baked Chicken Tacos:

Step one: Let's get started with mixing together our cooked and shredded chicken breast with taco seasoning, salsa, and green chilies in a mixing bowl.

Step two: Now preheat your oven and prepare a casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray then stand taco shells inside.

Cooking tip: I used the stand and stuff taco shells for this recipe to make sure my tacos would stand nicely. You could use regular taco shells but would probably use closer to 12 taco shells instead of the 9 I used since they usually are smaller.

Step three: Last spoon in refried beans to the bottom of each shell and then top that with chicken and then shredded cheese. Bake until cheese is melted. Remove from oven and serve topped with your favorite taco toppings.

Serving Options:

I love serving ours topped with a few of our favorite taco toppings.

Shredded lettuce
Salsa
Sour Cream
Diced Avacado
Pico
Diced Tomatoes
Jalapenos
