You may activate Guardian of New Benalia's last ability even if it's already tapped. You may also activate that ability multiple times in the same turn, even if Guardian of New Benalia already has indestructible.

The attacking player chooses whether to tap a creature for an enlist ability immediately after they tap the creatures that they have chosen to attack with. You can't choose to enlist a creature later.
