Warm chicken and salsa in a large skillet over medium-low heat until heated through.
Meanwhile, heat oil in a medium skillet over medium.
Cook garlic, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 1 minute.
Add beans, salt, and 1/2 cup water and cook, stirring and crushing beans with the back of a large spoon, until warmed through and creamy, about 3 minutes.

Working one at a time, warm tortillas with tongs directly over a gas burner, turning often, until lightly charred and puffed in spots, about 1 minute per side.

Transfer to a plate and cover with a kitchen towel to keep warm.
Fill tortillas with chicken and top with avocado, slaw, and cilantro.
Serve with lime wedges, hot sauce, and refried beans alongside.
