1
tablespoon vegetable oil
1 1/4
pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
1
bag (1 pound) frozen broccoli, red peppers, onions and mushrooms
1
can (15 ounces) Progresso® black beans, rinsed and drained
1
cup Old El Paso® Thick 'n Chunky salsa
1
Old El Paso® flour tortilla for burritos (8 inch) (from 11.5-ounce package), cut into 2x1-inch strips
1
cup shredded Cheddar cheese (4 ounces)
  • 1 In 10-inch skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Cook chicken in oil 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until no longer pink in center.
  • 2 Stir in vegetables, beans and salsa; reduce heat to medium. Cover and cook 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are crisp-tender.
  • 3 Sprinkle with tortilla strips and cheese. Cover and cook about 2 minutes or until cheese is melted.

Expert Tips

Crisp tortilla strips add extra crunch and are easy to make - just pop them in the oven while preparing the skillet. Bake strips on ungreased cookie sheet in 425°F oven 4 to 7 minutes or until crisp.

Add orange wedges or pineapple chunks to quickly finish this meal.

I made this last night. It was really good. I used all fresh ingredients because I didn't find them frozen. I also used quite a bit more salsa than they suggest. I love salsa. I stuck a tortilla in the microwave for 10 seconds and stuffed it full of chicken skillet goodness. Yum. It made enough for about 5 meals. So I divided up the rest and put it in the freezer. Lunch for the rest of the week!

hmm, I took the red bell peppers out (southwestern food doesn't usually have bell peppers in it, I should know living in New Mexico) and added green chiles... made it very good...
