Ingredients

1: tablespoon canola or vegetable oil

1: tablespoon lime juice

2: teaspoons chili powder

1/8: teaspoon salt

2: boneless skinless chicken breasts

1: can (15 oz) Progresso® black beans, drained, rinsed

1/3: cup chunky-style salsa

2: tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

8: soft corn tortillas (6 inch), warmed

1/4: cup shredded reduced-fat Cheddar cheese (1 oz)

2: tablespoons reduced-fat sour cream

Directions

1 Heat gas or charcoal grill. In shallow dish, mix oil, lime juice, chili powder and salt. Add chicken breasts, turning to coat.
2 Place chicken on grill. Cover grill; cook over medium heat about 12 minutes, turning once, or until juice of chicken is clear when center of thickest part is cut (170°F). Remove from heat; slice crosswise into strips.
3 Meanwhile, in 2-quart saucepan, heat beans, salsa and cilantro over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until thoroughly heated. Divide chicken evenly onto half of each tortilla; top with beans, cheese and sour cream. Fold tortilla in half over filling.

Expert Tips

Black beans are loaded with fiber—the soluble kind that helps to lower blood cholesterol. Start slowly so you have time to get used to more fiber.

Read labels to find low fat tortillas. There are plenty of whole grain tortillas available, but not all of them are low in fat.

Feel free to take some liberties with this recipe. Use a grill pan to cook the chicken instead of a grill, and add other healthy toppings, such as lettuce and chopped tomatoes.

Chicken was super moist- we marinated it for 3 hours. So easy to make. Delicious!

This was VERY good and my family loved them. The only thing I did different, for time saving purposes, was I bought the Tyson brand already cooked chicken. I heated it a skillet with the chili rub mixture....came out great.

I made this receipe for my husband and 4 year old. They both loved it. The bean salsa that you make is outstanding and I have even made it as a dip. Very simple and very delicious.
