Quick and full of flavor, you can adjust heat by removing the seeds from jalapeno. Garnish tacos with chipotle ranch, salsa verde, and avocado. I make the chipotle ranch with fat free sour cream to save a bit of calories.
Ingredients
- 4 cups water
- 1 (16 ounce) package yellow rice
- 5 tablespoons olive oil, divided (Optional)
- 1 pound boneless chicken, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
- 1 (1 ounce) package chicken taco seasoning mix
- 1 (16 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 ½ cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 1 (4 ounce) can sliced olives
- 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
- 12 corn tortillas
- 1 tablespoon bacon grease
Directions
Step 1
Bring water to a boil in a saucepan; add rice and 1/4 cup olive oil. Bring liquid back to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, cover saucepan, and simmer until rice is tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
Step 2
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir chicken and taco seasoning mix until chicken is no longer pink in the center, 5 to 10 minutes. Mix rice, black beans, Mexican cheese blend, olives, and jalapeno pepper into chicken; cook and stir until heated through, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Heat a separate skillet over medium-high heat; warm tortillas in skillet until pliable, 1 to 2 minutes per tortilla.
Step 4
Fill each tortilla with about 1/2 cup chicken-rice mixture, folding tortilla over filling.
Step 5
Heat bacon grease in a skillet over medium heat; fry the filled tortillas until crispy, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
