Ingredients

2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chiles (such as RO*TEL®)
½ cup chopped red onion
½ cup chopped red bell pepper
1 (29 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup frozen corn kernels, or more to taste
3 tablespoons water
4 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 avocado, sliced

Steps:

Place chicken between 2 sheets of plastic wrap. Pound to 1/2-inch thickness using a mallet. Combine cumin and cayenne in a small bowl and rub over chicken.
Heat oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Cook and stir chicken in the hot oil until browned and no longer pink in the center, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a cutting board.
Return the skillet with its drippings to medium heat. Add diced tomatoes, onion, and bell pepper. Cook and stir for 1 minute. Stir in beans, corn, and water until just heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
Transfer tomato mixture to a serving bowl and toss with cilantro and red wine vinegar. Season with salt and pepper. Slice chicken and arrange with avocado on top of beans.
