Ingredients
-
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cooked (chopped or shredded)
-
1 (16 ounce) can black beans, undrained (or kidney beans, or pinto beans)
-
1 cup corn
-
1/2 cup black olives (sliced or chopped)
-
1 jalapeno pepper, chopped (a 4 oz can of chopped mild chiles will work also)
-
1/2 cup chopped onion
-
1 teaspoon minced garlic
-
1 -2 tablespoon olive oil
-
1 -2 tablespoon chili powder
-
1/4-1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
-
1/2 teaspoon oregano
-
1 -2 teaspoon cumin
-
1/2 cup water
-
salt (to taste)
-
4 -8 ounces tomato sauce
-
-
sour cream
-
salsa
-
shredded cheese
-
flour tortilla
Instructions
- saute onion in large pan till translucent. Add garlic and chopped jalapeno, saute briefly, stirring.
- (Sometimes if I don't have cooked chicken on hand, I cut raw chicken in strips and saute it along with the onions.).
- Add chicken, seasonings and remaining ingredients (except tortillas and toppings).
- Cook over medium high heat, till ingredients are combined and liquid cooks down - about 5-10 minutes.
- This timing of the cooking is flexible, depending on how much seasoning you add, how much liquid is in your beans, if you add tomato sauce, etc. I make it spicy and just wet enough that it's not dried out, but not watery or gloppy.
- Adjust seasonings, salt to taste. (For me, it's often at this point when I decide if I want to add the taste of tomato sauce.).
- Serve in flour tortillas with your favorite toppings.
