Southwest Chicken Pockets image

Black beans, convenient chicken strips and chiles star in a feisty new role in these loaded pockets. Eat them out of hand (or with a fork if you feel civilized)! Serve a little salsa on the side for an extra burst of flavor. -Taste of Home Test Kitchen, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
