Ground Chicken & Black Bean Taco Bowls (or Tacos)
This flavorful ground chicken and black beans seasoned with Siete taco seasoning is a weekly staple in our family. We enjoy it served over rice or greens, tucked in tortillas or scooped over roasted sweet potatoes with all the toppings.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 pound ground chicken 93% lean is best
- ½ red or brown onion diced
- 1 Siete taco seasoning packet
- ⅓ cup water
- 1 14oz can black beans drained and rinsed
- ⅓ cup fresh cilantro roughly chopped
- 1 lime halved (one half for cooking, one half cut into wedges for serving)
Instructions
- Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground chicken to the skillet. Break it apart with a spatula and cook until no longer pink, about 6-7 minutes.
- Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and just starting to brown, about 4-5 minutes.
- Stir in the seasoning packet and water, mixing well to coat the chicken. Add the black beans and stir to combine. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens and the beans are warmed through.
- Remove from heat and fold in the cilantro. Squeeze half of the lime over the filling and stir to combine. Taste and adjust salt if needed.
Assemble your bowls or tacos:
- For bowls: serve over rice or greens and top with your choice of toppings. This taco meat is also delicious served on top of roasted sweet potatoes.
- For tacos: spoon filling into warm tortillas and top as desired. Serve with remaining lime wedges on the side.
