Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (15 oz) corn, drained
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Add the diced chicken to the pot, stirring to combine. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the chicken mixture and stir well to coat the meat evenly.
  4. Add the black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, and chicken broth to the pot, stirring gently to combine all ingredients.
  5. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as desired.
  7. Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh cilantro, avocado slices, and a wedge of lime on the side for extra zing.
