2 chipotles in adobo, finely chopped
2/3 cup canned corn, rinsed and drained
1 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
1 (14.5-ounce) can diced fire-roasted tomatoes
Sea salt and pepper (if needed)
6 to 8 tortillas (corn or flour)
1 avocado, chopped
Handful of chopped cilantro
3 to 4 tablespoons goat cheese, crumbled
2 to 3 limes, cut into wedges
1. Poach chicken tenders: Put chicken, celery, carrot, parsley and peppercorns in a saucepan. Cover with water, put on the stove over medium-high heat, and cover. When it boils, reduce heat to a simmer and set the timer for 10 minutes. Let the chicken cool in the pot if you have time; if you don’t, shred chicken and proceed to the next step.
2. Drizzle a little olive oil in a large skillet, add onion and garlic and turn heat to medium-low. Cook just until the onion is translucent, about 5 to 10 minutes. Add chipotles, corn and black beans and stir. Add shredded chicken and let mixture cook 10 to 15 minutes. Add tomatoes and let it go for 5 minutes more. Taste and add seasonings if necessary. Serve on warmed tortillas with avocado, cilantro, goat cheese and limes.
