Instructions
Creating Chicken Tacos with Black Beans is straightforward. Just follow these simple steps:
1. Prep the Chicken: Begin by cutting the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
2. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
3. Cook the Chicken: Add the chopped chicken to the skillet. Season with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the chicken is lightly browned and cooked through.
4. Add Black Beans: Stir in the black beans and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, allowing everything to heat together.
5. Warm Tortillas: While the chicken and beans are cooking, warm the tortillas in a separate pan over low heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
6. Build Your Tacos: Remove the chicken and bean mixture from heat. Take a tortilla, add a generous scoop of the chicken and black bean mixture, and top with lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, and cilantro.
7. Serve with Lime: Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top for an extra burst of flavor.
8. Repeat: Continue assembling the remaining tacos until all the ingredients are used.
