Step 1
Start by heating some olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Toss in the garlic and cook it just until it smells amazing, about a minute. Add the chicken and keep stirring it around until it’s cooked through and no longer pink inside, which should take about 5 to 7 minutes. Next, throw in the onion, red bell pepper, black beans, and cilantro. Cook everything together until the onion softens, around 5 minutes. Pour in the salsa and stir it all until warmed through, just a minute or two. Finally, fill your tortillas with the chicken mixture and sprinkle on some Mexican cheese blend. Enjoy!

Serving Suggestions
Serve with a side of fresh salsa, guacamole, or a simple slaw to add crunch and freshness. A squeeze of lime over the top enhances the flavors. These are great with a cold drink and some warm beans or rice on the side.
Storage Tips
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave to keep the chicken tender. Keep tortillas separate and warm them just before serving to avoid sogginess.
