I am really excited about this recipe. It is literally one of the cheapest, easiest meals to make. I wish I took pictures of everything, but it's okay, I can just tell you...
What you need..
- About a pound of chicken (cut into strips or bite size)
(I seasoned my chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, but you probably don't have to season it at all) - 1 package of taco seasoning (I like to buy the low sodium kind, but any works)
- 1 15oz can of black beans (drained) (I also bought low sodium, but any works)
- 1 can of Mexican style corn (undrained) (whole corn kernels with red and green peppers) (I bought Del Monte brand 15 oz, but I know Green Giant sells "Mexicorn" in the 11oz as well)
- About 1/4 cup of water
- Corn tortillas (...if you feel like it..)
When the chicken was done cooking, I cut the chicken into thin strips, and then I ended up cutting those in half, so they ended up being bite size pieces of chicken.
Then, I drained a can of black beans and put it in a skillet, then I added the can of Mexican Style corn, the taco seasoning, and about 1/4 cup of water. I put it on medium-medium high heat and just let it cook until most of the liquid was gone.
Then, I just warmed up a couple of corn tortillas put the filling inside. Rolled it up and ate it. It was DELICIOUS! :)
I think it would be really filling even without the corn tortilla. I just like wrapping it in something to keep it neat and tidy.
I got the idea from http://www.bettycrocker.com/
I love this meal so much because not only is it quick, but it's VERY healthy! There is lots of fiber and protein, so it a very filling meal!
This is definitely a meal that any broke college student with barely any time can make! Enjoy!
