Mexican Chicken and Black Bean Salad

Excellent recipe! I did cut the breast up in slices so it would cook faster. The taco seasoning was chicken taco seasoning. I didn’t have spinach so I used the variety spring mix and added some ice burg. It was all so delicious we ate every last bite.

No real changes, just added some guacamole, green onion, and jalapeno slices.

Great salad and liked using the spinach leaves instead of nachos chips. Cut chicken in bite sizes pieces and cooked in a skillet then drained and added taco seasoning. I like finding more chicken recipes and this is another easy and good one.

My family absolutely loved this recipe. The only thing I changed was that I made the tomato sauce rather than use the canned variety. It takes few ingredients, is easy to make but packs a huge taste punch. I’ll be making this again.

Completely changed this recipe when I realized I didn’t have any fresh spinach on hand and didn’t feel like making *yet* another grocery run. –> But WOW! I couldn’t believe how wonderful the results were, or how easy it would be to replicate in the future. First, since I had to give up on the salad idea, I decided to turn this into a more traditional hot entree. And I prefer my black beans heated through, so well, throw that can of black beans (*UN*drained) into the bowl with the can of tomato sauce and the packet of taco seasoning (per the recipe)and mix it all up. Next, preheat the oven per the recipe instructions, lightly grease a baking dish, position the chicken breasts in the dish and cover with the tomato sauce, black bean and taco seasoning mixture. Cook per recipe instructions. In the last five or so of the cooking time, I topped the chicken with some crushed-up stale taco shells and about a cup of mild cheddar cheese, which melted attractively on top. Served it with a box of Spanish rice mix and a microwave-in-the-bag vegetable. There! Dinner’s all ready and you hardly even have a dish to wash. Oh, and did I mention that the chicken was so tasty and moist and flavorful that I felt like I’d just hit the jackpot? Yeah, I did. Sadly, I was so excited about the outcome that I totally forgot to take a picture until I’d finished eating it. Hey, that’s a good excuse to make this one again, isn’t it?!

Absolutely delicious! And very little prep for a very wonderful taste. I made the recipe exactly as originally written, except that I added cumin to the sauce and fresh cilantro as a garnish! Thanks for a delicious Mexican Chicken and Black Bean salad that I plan to make again and again!

One of the best entrees I have ever made, but I do love Mexican food. The combination of spinach, black beans and the cheese made it a delight. I will certainly be making it again.

Made no changes.

Very easy and delicious! Next time I may add some avocado and tomato.

It was delicious even though I substituted black-eyed peas for black beans and minus the sour cream to keep it a low-fat dish.

I added onion, salt and pepper. I may try crushed red pepper on a individual plate. I really like this simple recipe.

Very good and simple to make. My husband loved it!

The sauce that the chicken was cooked in is fantastic and simple. I served over a spinach blend. Fast and easy if you cook the chicken ahead.

I cheated on this big time. I used a rotisserie turkey breast (diced), cooked frozen spinach, and added diced jalapenos from a jar. Mix it all together in a bowl with 2x sour cream and 2x cheese and my special homemade taco seasoning. Diet, shmiet. It’s pretty darn good.

This recipe was super tasty and filling! I definitely will be making it again. My variation is below: I cut out the sour cream, and will cut out the cheese next time(it didn’t need it), added fresh cilantro to the sauce, added a fresh roma tomato and used home made taco seasoning sans salt(I used homemade taco seasoning (http://allrecipes.com/recipe/taco-seasoning-i)

I made this for dinner a week ago and my teenage son LOVED it. I served it over rice and added a little sour cream on top before serving. I used tomato paste instead of sauce and diluted the paste and taco mix until the consistency was good. Delicious. Easy to make after a hard day at work. Will make it again!!

This chicken was so good and easy to make. My husband is picky and doesn’t really like to try new things, but he loved this recipe. Forgot all about the sour cream but this recipe is so good you really don’t need it. Thanks!

i made this one night for my husband and i. phenomenal recipe. thanks for sharing!!! =)

This is awesome. I had mine with the spinache bed, and the husband had his with a nacho bed. This’ll be made lots.

We really enjoyed this….I didnt use salsa instead I diced up fresh tomato, onion , cilantro and jalapenos and I used a crumbly mexican cotija cheese….next time I will cut up and cook the chicken on the stove and add some avacodo.

This recipe is a good start. I added corn, cilantro and green onions to ours. It was surprising good on a bed of spinache. I would usually put it on top of tortilla chips.
