Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 to 1.25 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast diced into bite-sized pieces
- one 1.25-ounce packet taco seasoning I used medium heat, reduced sodium
- 1 medium/large red bell pepper seeded, trimmed, and diced small
- one 15-ounce can black beans drained and rinsed (I use low sodium)
- ¾ cup corn I used frozen that I added straight from the freezer; canned may be substituted
- one 8-ounce can tomato sauce
- 1 ½ to 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend I used lite
- 2 to 3 green onions diced into thin rounds for garnishing
- 2 to 3 tablespoons fresh cilantro for garnishing
- Spanish Rice tortilla chips, tortillas, etc. optional for serving
Instructions
- To a large skillet, add the oil, chicken, and cook over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through; stir and flip intermittently to ensure even cooking.
- Evenly sprinkle with the taco seasoning, add the peppers, beans, corn, tomato sauce, and simmer for about 2 to 3 minutes, or until warmed through.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low, add the cheese, and cover the skillet with a lid to help the cheese to melt for about 1 minute, or until melted. Stir to combine.
- Garnish with green onions, cilantro, and optionally serve with rice or over your favorite tortilla chips.
Notes
- Recipe is best fresh but will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- Adapted from Betty Crocker.
