Ingredients

  • 2 pounds boneless chicken breasts, diced
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 large tomato, diced
  • 1 green bell pepper, cut into strips
  • ½ large onion, cut into strips
  • ¾ cup water
  • 2 (1.27 ounce) packets fajita seasoning
  • 10 (6 inch) corn tortillas, cut in quarters
  • 1 (16 ounce) can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
  • 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1 (16 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • ¼ cup green onions, chopped
  • ¼ cup chopped cilantro

Directions

Step 1
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.

Step 2
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add chicken; cook and stir until browned on all sides, about 6 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate.

Step 3
Heat oil in the hot skillet. Add tomato, bell pepper, and onion; cook and stir until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Mix in cooked chicken, water, and fajita seasoning.

Step 4
Line the bottom of the prepared pan with 5 tortillas; pour pinto beans on top. Spread 1/2 of the chicken mixture over the beans; cover with Cheddar cheese. Layer the remaining tortillas, black beans, and chicken mixture on top. Cover with aluminum foil.

Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until tortillas are lightly browned and chicken juices run clear, 25 to 30 minutes. Top with green onions and cilantro.
