This can be prepared in a crock pot or on the stove. I would suggest not adding the chicken until the last hr or so to prevent over cooking.

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup onion, chopped
2 tablespoons hot peppers, chopped
1 (15 1/4 ounce) can corn (drained)
1 (15 1/4 ounce) can pinto beans (rinsed and drained)
1 (15 1/4 ounce) can black beans (rinsed and drained)
1 (24 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (16 ounce) jar salsa
1 (1 1/4 ounce) package taco seasoning (reduced sodium)

1/2 cup cilantro, chopped

Steps:

  • Sweat onions until soft.
  • Add jalopenos, continue to cook for a minute or two.
  • Add corn, both beans, tomatoes, salsa, seasonings.
  • Cook for about an hour over med/low heat (should just be simmering.) Add cilantro, then taste. Adjust seasoning to your preference.
  • Add chicken, simmer until chicken is cooked through.
  • serve over brown rice. I personally like to put a tortilla in a bowl, then rice then top the rice. Garnish with cheese and sour cream.
