Ingredients

  • 8 Mission® Life Balance® flour tortillas
  • Cooking spray
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1 (16 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 1 red pepper, stemmed, seeded, and diced
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup corn kernels
  • 1/4 cup packed chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 (4 ounce) can diced green chilies

  2. Pour chicken broth into a small frying pan, heat to simmer, add chicken breast, cover and simmer until no longer pink, turning once (approximately 25 minutes). Cool and shred.
