Beans

Method

Preparing the Chicken

  1. 1

    Cook the Chicken

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Preparing the Avocado

  1. 2

    Mash the Avocado

    Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add lime juice and salt to taste. Mash with a fork until smooth or to your desired consistency.

Preparing the Beans

  1. 3

    Prepare the Bean Mixture

    In a saucepan, combine the canned black beans (drained and rinsed), diced tomatoes, chopped onion, cilantro, cumin, and salt. Heat over medium heat until warmed through, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Assembling the Topopo

  1. 4

    Layer the Ingredients

    On a plate, start with a base of the bean mixture. Top with sliced chicken and a generous scoop of the avocado mash. Serve immediately and enjoy!
