Ingredients

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
0.75 pound cubed skinless, boneless chicken breast meat
0.5 (1.25 ounce) package taco seasoning mix
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 (8.75 ounce) can sweet corn, drained
0.25 cup salsa
water as needed
1 cup shredded Mexican-style cheese
1.5 cups crushed plain tortilla chips

Instructions

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook chicken in oil until fully cooked. Add taco seasoning, black beans, corn, and salsa. Add a little water to prevent sticking. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat for 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Pour the chicken mixture into a 9x13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup of cheese and crushed tortilla chips.
Bake for 15 minutes. Top with the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese and continue baking until the cheese is melted and bubbly, creating a golden-brown crust.
