Bake at 350 degrees F for about 10 to 12 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the tortillas are lightly crisped around the edges. Finally, drizzle each taco with a spoonful or two of enchilada sauce and then top with shredded cheese. Then, fill each taco with the shredded chicken, evenly distributing it among the tortillas. Fill each tortilla with about a spoonful of refried beans. Next, lightly grease a baking dish with cooking spray and line it with the flour tortillas, snuggling them into the pan so they’re standing upright. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and shred, then set aside. Then bake in the oven at 400 degrees F until cooked to an internal temperature of about 155 degrees F. Combine the chicken, oil, lime juice, and seasonings in a bowl and marinate at room temperature for about 15 minutes.

Marinate, bake, and shred the chicken.
