Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add 1 lb chicken or pork strips and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove to a plate.

  2. Step 2

    In the same skillet, add 2 cups sliced bell peppers and onion, 1 sliced zucchini, and 1 cup corn. Cook until vegetables are tender and lightly charred, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Add 1 can drained black beans and 1 tsp chili powder (or cumin). Stir and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Return the meat to the skillet, toss everything together, and cook for 1-2 minutes until hot.

  5. Step 5

    Serve the mixture over 2 cups tortilla chips, with lime wedges on the side for squeezing.
