Step 1
Start by heating some olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Toss in the garlic and cook it just until you can smell that wonderful aroma, about a minute. Then add the chicken, stirring it around until it's cooked through and no longer pink inside, which usually takes about 5 to 7 minutes. Next, throw in the chopped onion, red bell pepper, black beans, and cilantro. Keep everything moving in the pan until the onion softens, around 5 minutes. Pour in the salsa and stir everything together until it's warmed through, about a minute or two. Finally, spoon the flavorful chicken mixture onto your tortillas and sprinkle with a good handful of Mexican cheese blend. Enjoy!

How to serve
Serve with a side of fresh salsa or guacamole to add brightness. A simple salad with lime dressing or some black beans can round out the meal. Don’t forget a squeeze of lime on top for an extra pop of freshness.
Storage & leftovers
Store any leftover chicken in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Keep the tortillas separate and wrapped to prevent them from getting soggy. Reheat the chicken gently in a pan to keep it juicy.
