Ingredients

  

Tex-MexSeasoning Mix Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup Chili powder 
• 2 tbsp Ground cumin
• 2 tsp Ground coriander
• 1 tbsp Garlic powder 
• 2 tsp Smoked paprika 
• 1 tsp Fine sea salt
• 1/2 tsp Black pepper

Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil, divided
• 2-3 Large cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 1/2 Medium white onion, diced
• 1 Medium red bell pepper, diced
• Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
• 1 14-oz. can diced fire-roasted tomatoes with green chilies, with liquid
• 1 15-oz. can black beans, drained and rinsed
• 2 Whole bay leaves
• 3 1/2 cup Chicken broth, preferably organic
• 1 lb Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup Sweet corn kernels
• 3 tbsp Fresh lime juice

To Serve:

• 1 Large avocado, diced
• Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 Large lime, cut into wedges

Instructions

 

• To prepare the Tex-Mex seasoning mix, combine all ingredients in a medium-sized bowl, and stir to combine. Transfer to an airtight storage container and store in a cool, dry place for up to 6 months.
• Add olive oil, garlic, onion, and red bell pepper to a large, high-sided skillet set over medium heat. Sprinkle two tablespoons of the Tex-Mex seasoning mix on top and stir to combine. Cook, stirring frequently until vegetables are crisp-tender and start to develop some color, approximately 4-5 minutes.
• Add fire-roasted tomatoes, black beans, bay leaves, and chicken broth and stir to combine. Nestle the chicken breasts into the skillet so they are completely submerged in the liquid.
• Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a rapid boil, then immediately reduce heat to just below medium. Cover skillet loosely with a lid and simmer for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and shreds easily with two forks.
• Stir in corn and fresh lime juice and simmer until heated through approximately 5-10 minutes. Remove from heat and discard bay leaves. Taste and adjust seasonings, as desired, and serve immediately topped with diced avocado, fresh cilantro, and lime wedges for squeezing. Enjoy!
