6 servings
- 1 ½ lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Chef's tipChoose an unbreaded plant-based cutlet and cook it according to its package - ignore the recipe's raw-chicken cooking times and temperatures - then use it where the cooked chicken goes. - 1 can (14.5 oz) fire-roasted diced tomatoes
- 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup frozen corn kernels
- 1 can (4 oz) diced green chiles
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced

Chef's tipUse the same amount of low-sodium vegetable broth. The dish will be a little lighter in flavor than with chicken broth. - 2 tsp ground cumin

- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- ½ tsp salt, plus more to taste
- ¼ tsp black pepper
For the tortilla strips
