Ingredients

1 can black beans (approx.)15 oz do not drain

1 can fire roasted diced tomatoes do not drain

1 can corn do not drain

1 large onion diced

1/2 cup of your favorite prepared tomato based salsa (I prefer a “quemado-blackend"type

3 cups 1/2 inch diced, cooked chicken

(about 1 pound)

garnishes: chopped cilantro, grated cheese, chopped onion, sour cream,

chips, chopped iceberg lettuce-whatever you like

cooked rice (optional)

Preparation

Simmer together the beans. tomatoes, corn, onion & salsa about 20 minutes to thicken. This can sit until you’re just about ready to leave. The last 5 minutes reheat & add the chicken, & adjust seasonings with salt, peppers, cumin, extra salsa. (note: if you cook it down too much or prefer a thinner version add chicken broth to thin)

Wrap your pot in newspaper to keep it warm & you’re ready to go!

Serve in bowls over rice if desired. Garnish & enjoy.
