Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1 can black beans
  • 1 tsp avocado oil
  • 1 pepper
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Seasonings: In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, and cumin.
  2. Cook the Ground Chicken Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add avocado oil then the ground chicken and cook, breaking it into small crumbles with a wooden spoon, until browned (about 4-6 minutes). Add the peppers.
  3. Season the Chicken: Reduce the heat to medium. Sprinkle the seasoning mix evenly over the browned chicken. Add 1/4 cup of water and stir well to coat the meat in the seasonings. Add the can of black beans. Simmer for 2–3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Remove from heat.
  4. Warm the Taco Shells (optional): While the chicken simmers, warm the taco shells according to the package instructions. This can be done in a microwave, oven, or skillet.
  5. Assemble the Tacos: Fill each taco shell with a portion of the seasoned ground chicken. Add your favorite toppings like lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, cheese, and a dollop of sour cream or salsa.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the tacos immediately and enjoy a quick, flavorful meal!
