Chicken and Black Bean Pizza

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground pepper
  • 1 tsp canola oil
  • 1 cup cooked reduced-sodium black beans
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1/2 cup frozen (or fresh) corn kernels, defrosted
  • 1 (4 oz.) can diced green chiles
  • Juice of 1/2 lime
  • 4 whole wheat tortillas
  • 2 1/2 oz. queso fresco, crumbled
  • 3 tbsp minced cilantro
  • Salsa, for serving
  1. Preheat the broiler. Place the rack at the second-highest position.
  2. Place the chicken pieces in a medium bowl and toss with the chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper.
  3. Heat the canola oil in a large nonstick skillet set over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is starting to brown, 3 minutes.
  4. Add the black beans, red bell pepper and corn. Cook until the chicken is cooked through, about 1 minute. Stir in the diced green chiles and lime juice.
  5. Place 2 whole wheat tortillas on a large baking sheet and lightly coat each side of the tortillas with cooking spray. Broil for 2 minutes, then flip the tortillas and broil for 1 more minute.
  6. Spread 1 cup of the chicken mixture on each browned tortilla and top each with 1 1/2 tablespoons queso fresco. Broil for 1 minute. Garnish with cilantro and salsa. Serve.
  7. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, chicken mixture, queso fresco, cilantro and salsa.
