Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon oil
- 1 pound chicken breast
- 1 Tablespoon oil
- 1 onion chopped
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 red pepper finely chopped
- 14 ounces black beans drained and rinsed
- 1 cup corn fresh is best but frozen works great
- 1 bunch cilantro chopped
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
- pepper to taste
- 1 cup Monterey jack cheese
- 12 flour tortillas
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400-degrees
- Heat oil over medium heat in large skillet.
- Cut up chicken into tiny pieces. Saute in oil until white all over. Remove chicken from skillet, set aside, and wipe skillet clean.
- Add another Tbsp. of oil to the skillet and add onion, garlic, and red pepper. Saute until onions become soft.
- Add chicken back to the skillet with the black beans, corn, cilantro, and seasonings.
- When chicken is cooked through and skillet ingredients are hot, add cheese and remove from heat.
- Stir cheese until combined with other ingredients.
- Drain any excess liquid from the mixture.
- Spoon about 3 Tbsp. of the chicken mixture into the middle of each tortilla (forming a line down the middle). Roll up each tortilla tightly to look like a taquito or flute.
- Place each roll-up on a cookie sheet and lightly spray each one with cooking spray.
- Bake until crispy (about 10-12 minutes).
- Serve with sour cream, ranch dressing, guacamole, and/or salsa.
