These easy, gluten-free Baked Chicken Tacos come together in under 30 minutes for a crispy, cheesy dinner everyone will love.
This one is always a winner at our house. These Baked Chicken Tacos are super easy to make, perfect for a busy night, and totally gluten-free. I love how crunchy the shells get in the oven and how the melty cheese holds everything together. They’re ready in under 30 minutes and you can customize them with whatever toppings you love (like sour cream, lettuce, and taco sauce or salsa). This version is inspired by a recipe from The Cookie Rookie, but we’ve made it gluten-free and just right for us. Be sure to use gluten-free stand-and-stuff taco shells—they're bigger and sturdier, which makes everything easier.
Recipe Gluten-Free Baked Chicken Tacos
1
GF Taco Seasoning
Ortega taco seasoning is currently gluten-free. Always double-check and feel free to use any gluten-free alternative you prefer.
2
Diced Tomatoes With Green Chilies
I really like to Red Gold petite diced tomatoes with green chiles.
3
Refried Beans
I like to use fat free refried beans in can, usually Kroger brand. Choose any kind you like, but just make sure it's gluten free.
4
Spicy?
Want it spicier? Add a dash of hot sauce or taco sauce to the mix. Feeding a crowd? Fill a couple Pryrex pans and go big!
