• 1 (16 ounce) can black beans, undrained (or kidney beans, or pinto beans)
• 1 cup corn
• 1/2 cup black olives (sliced or chopped)
• 1 jalapeno pepper, chopped (a 4 oz can of chopped mild chiles will work also)

• sour cream

Recipe

• 1 saute onion in large pan till translucent. add garlic and chopped jalapeno, saute briefly, stirring.
• 2 (sometimes if i don't have cooked chicken on hand, i cut raw chicken in strips and saute it along with the onions.).
• 3 add chicken, seasonings and remaining ingredients (except tortillas and toppings).
• 4 cook over medium high heat, till ingredients are combined and liquid cooks down - about 5-10 minutes.
• 5 this timing of the cooking is flexible, depending on how much seasoning you add, how much liquid is in your beans, if you add tomato sauce, etc. i make it spicy and just wet enough that it's not dried out, but not watery or gloppy.
• 6 adjust seasonings, salt to taste. (for me, it's often at this point when i decide if i want to add the taste of tomato sauce.).
• 7 serve in flour tortillas with your favorite toppings.
