What you need:

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (or 1 lb cooked lean ground chicken)
  • 1 cup canned refried beans
  • 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese
  • 1/2 cup bell peppers, diced
  • 1/2 cup tomatoes, diced
  • 2 tbsp taco seasoning
  • 2 tbsp nonfat plain Greek yogurt (or sour cream, optional)
  • 8 corn tortillas (or 12 small, street-style tortillas)

Step 1 Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. In a bowl, stir together the chicken, refried beans, cheese, bell peppers, tomatoes, taco seasoning, and Greek yogurt.

Step 2 Wrap the corn tortillas in a damp paper towel. Microwave for 45-60 seconds to soften. This helps prevent them from cracking. Make sure the tortillas are soft and pliable so they don't crack when they are filled.

Step 3 Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray or brush with olive oil. Scoop the filling into one side of the taco ( about 1-2 rounded tablespoons depending on the size of the tortilla) and press down to seal. Repeat with the remaining tacos, placing them in a single layer on the baking sheet. Spray the tacos with cooking spray or brush them with oil.

Step 4 Bake for 16-20 minutes, flipping the tacos after 8-10 minutes when the bottom side looks browned and crispy. Add toppings like shredded lettuce, onions, tomatoes, salsa, avocado, cheese, or sour cream.
