First things first, preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking pan using nonstick spray to ensure that the taco shells don’t stick.

Heat olive oil in a medium-sized pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the chopped onion and sauté for about 2 to 3 minutes, or until the onion becomes clear and aromatic.

Add the chopped chicken, taco seasoning, thoroughly drained tomatoes, and green chiles to the pan. Mix well until completely combined. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 5 to 8 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Place the taco shells upright in the baking dish. Put the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake the taco shells until they are crisp, about 5 minutes. When done, remove them from the oven and set them aside.

Place 1 tablespoon of refried beans in the bottom of each taco shell. Add the chicken mixture on top of the beans, then sprinkle generously with shredded Mexican mix cheese. Return the assembled tacos to the oven and continue baking for another 7 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted and the edges of the shells are browned.

Once the tacos are baked to perfection, it’s time to add your favorite toppings. Top the tacos with sliced jalapenos, sour cream, chopped cilantro, salsa, shredded lettuce, or any of your preferred taco toppings.

Now that your Baked Chicken Tacos are ready, it’s time to serve and enjoy. These tacos are perfect on their own or paired with a side of rice and beans.
