Easy Mexican Chicken

If you can rip open a bag and open a can, you're halfway there! This is a go-to for us because it's easy to tweak and we often have the ingredients on hand.

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet or cast iron pan. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 - 3 minutes.
  2. Add corn and cumin and cook for 1 minute.
  3. Add chicken, tomatoes, and black beans and cook for 4 - 5 minutes with an occasional stir.
  4. Add cheese and cook to combine for one minute.
  5. Serve on tortillas, with rice, or on tortilla chips.

Notes

  • I typically double the chicken in this recipe and use 2 cans because of our family size (6 people) and because my husband loves meat, but this recipe works fine with 1 can, too.
  • Dairy free if cheese is omitted.
  • Gluten free if served with gluten-free tortillas, chips, or rice.
  • We recommend organic ingredients when feasible.
