ingredients
Steps
Preparation
Dice the chicken breast, red onion, and bell peppers. Drain the corn and rinse the black beans.
Cook Chicken
Heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced chicken breast, season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Sauté Vegetables
In the same skillet, add a little more oil if needed. Add the diced red onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Then add the diced bell peppers and cook for another 5-7 minutes until softened.
Assemble Filling
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Add the drained corn, rinsed black beans, and taco seasoning mix. Stir well and cook for another 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if necessary.
Serve
Warm the tortillas according to package instructions. Fill the warm tortillas with the chicken and vegetable mixture. Sprinkle with shredded cheese, add a dollop of sour cream, and a spoonful of salsa sauce. Fold or roll up the tortillas and serve immediately.
Extra Tips
► If you like it spicy, add some finely chopped chili or chili flakes to the filling.
► Warm the tortillas in a pan or microwave before serving to make them even softer.
► Experiment with different toppings like avocado, lime juice, or fresh cilantro.
