Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 1 cup Canned black beans, drained and rinsed
- 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 0.25 cup Sour cream
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
- 8 Corn or flour tortillas
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
- 0.5 cup Shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend, optional)
- 0.5 cup Diced tomatoes (optional)
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and ground cumin.
Cook the chicken in the skillet for about 5-6 minutes per side or until cooked through and no longer pink in the center. Remove from the skillet and set aside to cool slightly.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium-low and add the black beans. Stir in the cream cheese, sour cream, and lime juice until smooth and creamy. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Dice the cooked chicken into small, bite-sized pieces and add it back to the skillet. Stir to combine, ensuring the chicken is thoroughly coated in the creamy sauce. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat through.
Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave to make them pliable.
Spoon the creamy chicken and black bean mixture onto the tortillas.
Top with optional garnishes such as chopped cilantro, shredded cheese, and diced tomatoes, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your creamy chicken black bean tacos!
