Ingredients

  • 1 ½ teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon granulated garlic
  • ½ teaspoon oregano, crushed between the palms of your hands
  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
  • fresh ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 green onions, sliced thin
  • 4 ounces diced green chiles
  • 15 ounces low sodium black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup frozen corn, defrosted

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a small bowl combine the spices. Rub the chicken tenders with half of the mixture and reserve the other half. Heat a cast iron or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Spray with cooking spray or add a couple teaspoons of olive oil to the hot skillet.
  2. Place the chicken into the skillet and cook for approximately 3-4 minutes before flipping it over and cooking another 3-4 minutes. When the chicken is cooked through remove it from the skillet and onto a plate.
  3. Turn the heat down to medium and add a little more oil to the skillet. Add in the green onions and saute for a minute then add in the green chiles, black beans, corn and remaining spice mixture. Stir everything together then pour in the enchilada sauce. Stir again until everything is coated in the sauce and bring the mixture to a simmer.
  4. Place the cooked chicken tenders on top of the black bean and corn mixture and top with the shredded cheese. Cover with a lid or piece of foil and cook for another couple minutes or until the cheese is melted.
  5. Serve immediately topped with chopped cilantro, green onions, avocado, tomato and sour cream or plain Greek yogurt.
