Instructions

  • Cook the chicken: In a slow cooker, add chicken breasts, both cans of Red Gold Diced Tomatoes + Green Chilies, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and salt. Cook on low for 2–3 hours or high for 1–2 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender. 
  • Remove the chicken and tomato mixture from the slow cooker, draining excess liquid. Shred the chicken using two forks or a hand mixer. Set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 425°F. Lightly grease a large baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
  • Wrap the tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave for 30 seconds to soften and make them flexible.
  • Spread a spoonful of refried beans on one side of each tortilla. Add shredded chicken, then sprinkle with cheese. Fold in half and place on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Lightly brush or spray the tops of the tortillas with olive oil. For extra crispiness, press a second baking sheet on top to keep them flat. Bake for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  • Let the tacos cool slightly. Top with your favorite garnishes like sour cream, avocado, chopped cilantro, and salsa. Serve immediately and enjoy!
