Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless chicken breasts, diced
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 large tomato, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, cut into strips
- ½ large onion, cut into strips
- ¾ cup water
- 2 (1.27 ounce) packets fajita seasoning

- 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
- 1 (16 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add chicken; cook and stir until browned on all sides, about 6 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate.
- Heat oil in the hot skillet. Add tomato, bell pepper, and onion; cook and stir until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Mix in cooked chicken, water, and fajita seasoning.
- Line the bottom of the prepared pan with 5 tortillas; pour pinto beans on top. Spread 1/2 of the chicken mixture over the beans; cover with Cheddar cheese. Layer the remaining tortillas, black beans, and chicken mixture on top. Cover with aluminum foil.
- Bake in the preheated oven until tortillas are lightly browned and chicken juices run clear, 25 to 30 minutes. Top with green onions and cilantro.

Super tasty and tons of it! I have massive amounts of leftovers that I am EXCITED to re-heat and devour!
I drained the extra water from the chicken vegetable mixture before I added it to the dish. Turned out perfect!
Ate it with sour cream . My wife and I think we will use salsa next time we will make this dish.
Family loved it. Definitely will make again.
Added chipotle peppers in with pepper & onion mix for added heat, and it came out amazing! Not too hot but not bland like others said. Used extra cheese on top too.
LOVE this dish and so does the family. Very easy to make. I usually cook up the chicken early in the day and then put together an hour before dinner. Three changes I made was to use only organic spicy black bean (2 cans), La Banderita low fat high fiber tortillas (that’s what I had in the house) and a red pepper instead of green.
Given the ingredients I’m surprised it was not more flavorful. I’m not a fan of baked tomatoes, so maybes add them at the end. Decent, but nothing to rave about.
