  • 1/2 cup black beans (drained and rinsed)
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion
  • 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup crumbled cotija cheese

Instructions

  1. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Notes

For added flavor, consider marinating the chicken in lime juice, cumin, and chili powder before grilling. If you’re in a hurry, using rotisserie chicken can save time.
