Ingredients

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into ¾-inch pieces
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
  • 1 teaspoon canola oil
  • 1 cup cooked reduced-sodium black beans
  • 1 red bell pepper diced
  • ½ cup frozen or fresh corn kernels, defrosted
  • 1 4 ounce can diced green chiles
  • juice of ½ lime
  • 4 whole wheat tortillas
  • 2 ½ ounces queso fresco crumbled
  • 3 tablespoons minced cilantro
  • salsa for serving

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the broiler. Place the rack at the second-highest position.
  2. Place the chicken pieces in a medium bowl and toss with the chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper.
  3. Heat the canola oil in a large nonstick skillet set over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is starting to brown, 3 minutes.
  4. Add the black beans, red bell pepper and corn. Cook until the chicken is cooked through, about 1 minute. Stir in the diced green chiles and lime juice.
  5. Place 2 whole wheat tortillas on a large baking sheet and lightly coat each side of the tortillas with cooking spray. Broil for 2 minutes, then flip the tortillas and broil for 1 more minute.
  6. Spread 1 cup of the chicken mixture on each browned tortilla and top each with 1½ tablespoons queso fresco. Broil for 1 minute. Garnish with cilantro and salsa. Serve.
  7. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, chicken mixture, queso fresco, cilantro and salsa.
