This recipes serves one, but can also be prepped ahead to make your lunches for the week. I used frozen corn for this recipe and canned black beans for added convenience. Paired with leftover chicken, this meal is ready in minutes! 

It’s also great for meatless beginners. It uses both chicken and black beans which can help reduce your portion of chicken while gaining the benefits of high fibre black beans, without completely swapping out the meat.
