This one is bound to be a trail favorite for us. We hope you enjoy it.

1 11 oz can of mexicorn.

1 15 oz can of black beans.

1 4 oz can of green chilies.

1/2 cup shredded cheese. We used tex mex cheese and we doubled it.

 

Directions

  1. Cook the rice.
  2. Cook the chicken using spices you like that will go with the southwestern pallet. We pressure cooked the chicken with roasted garlic powder.

  5. Rinse the black beans and stir into the skillet.
  6. Stir in the cooked rice.
