Easy Oven Baked Spicy Chicken Tacos

Submitted by AmyZoe

"I added a bunch of hot peppers from the garden and skipped the taco seasoning. I also doubled the refried beans (it meant I had some filling leftover for more later, but I wanted more beans). I also used Ro-Tel. Really delicious. Glad I doubled this recipe before they disappeared. Recipe posted as written."
