Ingredients

  • 4 teaspoons oil or butter
  • 6 tablespoons sour cream or plain Greek yoghurt
  • 1 cup shredded cheese, Mexican blend
  • 1 large can mushrooms, drained
  • 1 (16-ounce) jar of salsa or Ro*TelĀ®
  • 2 cups cooked rice
  • 1/2 of a (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (12-ounce) can of chicken, drained
  • Spices to taste (cumin, cilantro, garlic, chili powder, cayenne)

Directions

Heat all ingredients except chicken in the skillet (or large pan on stove) over medium-low heat. As things warm through and cheese is melted, turn off heat, and gently fold in the drained chicken. Cover the pan and wait 5 to 15 minutes until the chicken is warmed through. Serve with any garnishes you have on hand, such as extra shredded cheese, diced green onions, fresh cilantro, or avocados.
