Wild West Sizzlin' Chicken Tacos

Good! Only thing I didn't put in our was the baked beans. They just didn't sound good in a taco.

   
2 Cups cooked chicken strips
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1/2 tsp. paprika
4 Stand 'N Stuff taco shells (from 4.7oz box)
1 medium red bell pepper, cut into thin strips
1 cup barbecue baked beans (from 16oz can)
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
4 slices bacon, crisply cooked, crumbled

Heat oven to 400. In small bowl, toss chicken strips with cumin and paprika to coat. In 8 inch square glass baking dish, stand taco shells side by side. Fill each shell evenly with seasoned chicken. Divide pepper strips evenly over chicken. Top each with 1/4 cup baked beans and 1/4 cup cheese. Sprinkle with bacon. Bake 8 minutes or until thoroughly heated and cheese is melted. If desired, garnish with grape tomatoes.
