Ingredients: 1 lb ground chicken. 1 packet taco seasoning mix. 1 can 15 oz black beans, drained and rinsed. 1 cup corn kernels fresh or frozen. 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved. 1 cup red onion, finely chopped. 1 cup bell peppers red, green, or yellow, diced. 1 cup shredded lettuce. 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese. 1/2 cup sour cream. 1/2 cup salsa. 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped. 2 tbsp olive oil.

Instructions: Put the olive oil in a pan and heat it over medium-high heat. Stir the ground chicken in with a spoon as it cooks until it turns brown and is fully cooked.
