Ingredients

  • 4 to stada shells
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup reduced fat shredded Mexican blend cheese (I used Sargento)
  • 1/2 cup mashed avocado (about 1 small)
  • 1 medium lime (halved)
  • kosher salt
  • 1 cup chopped tomato
  • ¼ cup chopped white onion
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 7 ounces cooked boneless (skinless chicken breast, cubed*)
  • 1/3 cup canned drained black beans (rinsed)
  • 1 jalalpeno (sliced thin)
  • 2 tbsp sliced black olives

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a small bowl, combine the cheeses.
  2. In another small bowl, combine avocado, juice from half the lime, and a pinch of salt.
  3. In one more bowl, combine tomatoes, onion, cilantro, juice from the other lime half, ¼ teaspoon salt and black pepper, to taste.
  4. To assemble: Layer each with 1/3 cup chicken, 1 tbsp black beans, and sprinkle with 2 1/2 tbsp cheese. Broil for 2-3 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Top each with a dollop of avocado and a spoonful of the tomato salsa, jalapeno black olives. Top each with a small sprinkle of salt.

Notes

  • *I seasoned 1 8 oz breast with 1/8 teaspoon salt and pepper and threw it on the grill pan for 8 to 10 minutes on each side over medium heat.
