2 tablespoons vegetable oil
¾ pound cubed skinless, boneless chicken breast meat
½ (1.25 ounce) package taco seasoning mix
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 (8.75 ounce) can sweet corn, drained
¼ cup salsa
water as needed
1 cup shredded Mexican-style cheese
1 ½ cups crushed plain tortilla chips

  • Transfer chicken mixture to a 9x13 inch baking dish. Top with 1/2 cup of the cheese and crushed tortilla chips.
