Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 pound chicken breast 4 small breasts, boneless, skinless
  • 2 teaspoons taco seasoning of choice
  • salt
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup cheddar cheese grated

For the salsa

  • 6 tablespoons corn kernel thawed, if frozen
  • 6 tablespoons tomato diced
  • 6 tablespoons black beans drained and rinsed
  • 6 tablespoons avocado cubed
  • 3 tablespoons cilantro minced
  • lime juice plus additional for serving, juice of half a lime
