Easy Oven-Baked Chicken Tacos

A barbecue chicken, a packet of stand and stuff taco shells, a packet of taco seasoning, a tin of refried beans, a tin of diced tomatoes, grated cheese, sour cream, lettuce, tomato, onion and corn kernels. Or whatever taco toppings you love best, chillies, capsicum, salsa, whatever. Grab them too!

Stand all your taco shells in a big old lasagne dish like pictured below. Then place about a tablespoon of refried beans in the bottom of each one.

Then top with your chicken mixture – this is just some fried onion, the tin of diced tomatoes, the meat from the chicken and the taco seasoning cooked together for about 5 minutes or so. Easy. If you wanted to use some tinned chillies to spice it all up a bit, you would add them here too.
