2 cans black beans, drained, rinsed

In a very large skillet, heat olive oil until hot, add onion, saute till translucent, add chicken pieces. Cook chicken 4-6 minutes or until no longer pink.

Add diced tomatoes juice and all, bell pepper, black beans, whole kernel corn, taco seasoning. Reduce heat and simmer 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until everything is heated through.

Place tortilla on a plate, sprinkle liberally with cheese, add Beast Filling, (after all, you’re feeding hungry beasts, aren’t you?!).

Fold up and serve. These can be made ahead of time, wrapped in a paper towel and placed in a cooler (to stay warm, rather than cold) or they can be refrigerated and served cold. They’re yummy either way.

This will easily serve 14 Hungry Teenage Boys.

  2. this can be made easily in the crock pot. place chicken breasts of course bought on sale, boneless skinless for $1.69 a pound out west is our lowest price in 2013, with the taco seasoning and let it cook until chicken is ready to shred. Shred the chicken, add everything else and cut back on the cheese since it adds a lot of fat.

    Cheese is expensive coming out to almost $3 a pound if you catch a really good sale. I would increase the chicken for a lower fat source of protein.

  3. i make this often in our house. it is easy to mix up with different ingredients or even leftovers. pinto beans and leftover taco meat are a good mix.

    if you have some leftover still. i put it in tomato soup (myo), a family size can and some cheesy quesadilla’s -yum!
