Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the chicken thighs with salt, pepper, cumin, and chili powder. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from skillet and let rest.

  2. 2

    Sauté Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add chopped red bell pepper and yellow onion, cooking until softened, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, stirring frequently.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Once the vegetables are cooked, add the black beans (drained and rinsed), corn kernels, and chopped cilantro to the skillet. Stir well and cook for about 2-3 minutes, allowing flavors to meld together.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Shred the Chicken

    While the vegetable mixture is heating, shred the cooked chicken thighs using two forks.

  2. 5

    Mix Chicken with Vegetables

    Add the shredded chicken back into the skillet with the vegetable mixture. Stir everything together until combined and heated through, about 2 more minutes.

  3. 6

    Serve

    Serve the mixture hot, topped with sour cream, shredded cheese, and avocado slices as desired.
