Here, tender chicken breast is seasoned with a flavorful chili-lime rub, then skillet cooked and served atop a saute of hearty black beans, sweet corn, and fresh tomatoes warmed until barely bursting. It is made savory and given a gentle heat with onion, garlic, and a kiss of jalapeno. (If you like a lot of heat, feel free to add more jalapeno and/or more cayenne in the rub for the chicken.)

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon finely grated lime zest
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
Pinch of cayenne pepper
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast, pounded to 1/2-inch thickness
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1/2 small onion, chopped
1 tablespoon seeded and minced jalapeno pepper
1 garlic clove, minced
One 15-ounce can low-sodium black beans, drained and rinsed
1 pint grape tomatoes, halved
1 1/2 cups corn kernels, from 1 large or 2 small ears fresh corn, or frozen
1 ripe avocado, pitted, peeled, and diced
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
3 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves

Steps:

  • Combine the chili powder, lime zest, cumin, granulated garlic, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt, and the cayenne in a small bowl. Sprinkle the spice mixture on both sides of the chicken, rubbing it in a little with your fingers.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large, non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken to the pan, lower the heat to medium, and cook until it is browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board.
  • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the pan and heat over medium-high heat.
  • Add the onion and jalapeno and cook until they soften, 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds more, then stir in the beans, tomatoes, and corn and cook until all the vegetables are softened but still retain their shape, about 3 minutes. Season with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
  • Divide the vegetable mixture among four plates. Slice the chicken and divide it among the plates along with some avocado. Sprinkle each with lime juice and cilantro and serve.

Mexican Street Corn Pasta image

This Mexican street corn pasta is THE BEST! It's full of cherry tomatoes, black beans, sweet corn, a little bacon, and a deliciously creamy sauce.

Provided by Kristen Stevens

Categories     Dinner

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 14

12 ounces dry pasta (gluten-free, if needed)
4 strips bacon
3 cups corn ((see notes))
4 green onions (chopped (Greens and whites separate))
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon sea salt
15 ounce can of black beans (drained and rinsed)
2 cups cherry tomato halves
½ cup sour cream
¼ cup mayonnaise
½ cup chopped cilantro
½ cup crumbled queso fresco or feta cheese
¼ cup lime juice

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of the cooking water then drain the pasta. Return the pasta to the pot and toss with a little olive oil to prevent the pasta from sticking together.
  • While the pasta is cooking, cook the bacon in a large frying pan over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the pan and crumble when it's cool enough to touch.
  • Remove all but 2 tablespoons of the bacon oil from the pan. Increase the heat to medium-high then add the corn and stir so that it is coated in the oil then let it cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes, or until some of the kernels become golden on the bottom. Add the white and light green parts of the green onions, chili powder, pepper, and salt to the pan and stir.
  • Add the black beans and cherry tomatoes to the pan and cook until they're warm. Add the sour cream and mayonnaise and stir until warm, about 1 minute.
  • Add the corn sauce to the pot with the pasta and add the cilantro, cheese, and lime juice. Stir well then season to taste with more salt and pepper, if needed. If the pasta seems a little too thick, use some of the reserved pasta water to loosen it.

BLACK BEAN, CORN & CHICKEN SALAD



Black Bean, Corn & Chicken Salad image

Delicious salad that can be served warm or cold. I serve it with olive oil tortillas and sour cream. I think that I found this recipe in a magazine a few years back. Truly delicious, and very healthy.

Provided by Jake and Aimee

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 10m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

15 1/2 ounces corn, drained. (1 1/2c)
29 ounces black beans, drained and rinsed. (3c)
1/2 cup green onion, chopped. (1/2c)
1 bell pepper, diced. (1c)
3/4 lb cooked chicken breast, cubed. (3c)
3 tablespoons lime juice (2 limes)
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
salt & pepper
olive oil (optional)
tortilla (optional)

Steps:

  • Prepare all vegetables.
  • Dice chicken (I usually cook the chicken while I am preparing the vegetables, then I dice it while it's warm).
  • In a large bowl, mix all ingredients together.
  • Let it sit for a few minutes. (The warmth of the chicken will heat the salad and help the flavors to marry quickly. You can let this sit for about 10 mins or put it in the fridge overnight.).
  • Stir to redistribute the ingredients.
  • Serve with tortillas (avocado & sour cream go well too.).

Tips

- To save time, use pre-cooked or canned chicken. Shred it before adding it to the pasta. - For a vegetarian version of this recipe, omit the chicken and add an extra can of black beans. - To make this dish spicier, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes. - If you don't have any fresh cilantro, you can use dried cilantro instead. Just add it to the pasta at the end of the cooking time. - To make this dish even more flavorful, use a flavorful cheese, such as sharp cheddar or Parmesan. - Experiment with different types of pasta. This recipe would also be good with penne, rotini, or farfalle. - Add a side of your favorite salad or bread to make this a complete meal.
