Preheat the oven to 400 F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Spread 2 tablespoons of refried beans on one half of a tortilla. Top the beans with ½ cup shredded chicken, and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of cheese.
Fold the tortilla in half and press lightly to seal. Lay flat on a baking sheet and spray both sides with cooking spray.
Repeat with remaining ingredients, arranging the filled tortillas evenly between the two baking sheets with as little overlap as possible.
Bake for 10 minutes, then flip and bake an additional 10 minutes or until lightly browned and crisp. Allow to cool slightly, then serve with your dipping sauce of choice.

Tortillas: I use medium flour tortillas, but if you prefer low-carb or gluten-free tortillas, all work well.
Nutrition Info: Will depend on ingredients and type of beans used.
Spice Level: These tacos aren’t spicy & they’re very basic, so if you want a little more heat, add hot sauce, pickled jalapenos, or dip them in salsa, homemade creamy chipotle sauce, or my easy 4-ingredient guacamole (highly recommend!).
