Corn and Black Bean Chicken Tacos
Ingredients
8 | Hard taco shells 1 |
1 lb | Boneless, skinless chicken breasts - cut into cubes |
1/2 pkg | Taco seasoning mix |
1 | Large onion, sliced |
1 tsp | Garlic powder 2 |
1 can | Corn, drained |
1 can | Black beans, drained |
3/4 cup | low calorie, sugar free salsa |
1 | Chopped tomato |
4 tbs | Light ranch or fat free sour cream |

Instructions
Season chicken with salt and pepper and spray large non-stick skillet with non-stick cooking spray.
Cook chicken over high heat stirring until browned on all sides (about 6 minutes).
Reduce heat to medium and add the garlic, taco seasoning and onion to chicken. Add 1/2 cup water and mix well making sure to really scrap the bottom of the pan (that’s where a lot of the flavor is!).
Cook chicken and onions for about another 4 minutes until onions are tender and sauce is thickening.
Stir in salsa, corn and beans (at this point sauce should be thickened, if not, cook for a few extra minutes).
Spoon about 1/4 cup mixture into each shell, and garnish with tomatoes, lettuce, and any other veggies you like, (the more veggies the better) and 1 Tbs light ranch (or light sour cream) if desired.
Recipe makes 4 servings, 2 taco's each. nutrition and calorie count varies depending on the Taco shells you use, or if you use lettuce.
