Homemade Mexican Fiesta

Brrr...I just checked weather.com and they forecast it to only get into the 50's on Saturday and the 40's on Sunday. I think there will be lots of staying inside and catching up on some much needed sleep this weekend!

When I finally roll out of bed, I am planning to make a "Homemade Mexican Fiesta"! It's easy, quick, and I can still satiate my appetite for Mexican food. Also, I will consume less calories and fat then I would if we were to go out to eat at a traditional Mexican restaurant.

Ingredients:
1 lb. Tyson Grilled and Ready Chicken Strips
1 can pinto beans (I prefer black beans, but my hubby doesn't like them, so I have to use pintos)
2 cups Minute Rice (the kind you cook in the microwave)
2% Mexican blend shredded cheese
salt, pepper, and chili powder to taste
guacamole (optional)
sour cream (optional)
salsa (optional)
Archer Farms multigrain tortilla chips

Directions:
1. Heat chicken strips on medium heat in a large skillet according to package directions.
2. While chicken is cooking, microwave 2 cups of rice according to packages directions.
3. Once chicken is heated thoroughly, open can of pintos (do not drain) and stir entire can into the pan of chicken. Season with salt, pepper, and chili powder.
4. Let bean and chicken mixture cook for a couple of minutes and then stir in both cups of rice and season mixture again.
5. Reduce heat and simmer for about 2-5 minutes until everything is heated.
6. Serve with shredded cheese on top and with tortilla chips, salsa, guacamole, and sour cream on the side.

Enjoy!
