Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 1 medium peppers chopped
  • 1 minute garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 pound chicken
  • 1 can enchilada sauce
  • 1 can tomatoes diced
  • 1 cup corn
  • 1 can black beans drained and rinsed
  • 4 cups chicken broth

Instructions
 

  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven and add the onion and peppers. Cook them down for 5 minutes to soften.
  • Add the garlic, cumin, and salt and pepper, and cook another minute, until you can smell the garlic bloom.
  • Add chicken, enchilada sauce, tomatoes, corn, black beans, and chicken broth. Stir to incorporate. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer at least 20 minutes to cook the chicken and let the flavors develop.
  • Remove the chicken and shred it with a couple of forks. Return the chicken to the pot and simmer 5 minutes.
  • Swirl in some lime juice (if desired) then serve in bowls with your other favorite toppings.
