Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1 can canned black beans
- 1 can canned corn kernels
- 8 pieces flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cup salsa
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- 1 piece lime
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Season the chicken breasts with half of the taco seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 6-8 minutes on each side until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
While the chicken cooks, rinse and drain the canned black beans and corn.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and let rest for 5 minutes. Then shred or dice the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to low and add the black beans, corn, and the remaining taco seasoning. Stir and cook for 2-3 minutes to warm through.
Warm the flour tortillas by wrapping them in foil and placing them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes or by heating them individually in a dry skillet for 30 seconds on each side.
Assemble the tortillas by layering the shredded chicken, black bean and corn mixture, shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and a spoonful of salsa.
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice for an added burst of flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Easy Chicken Bean Tortillas!
