Beans & Chicken Bake

I got this recipe from Carla Davidson years ago and it was one of Taryn's favorites.

1 TBSP Olive Oil

1/2 - 1 Cup Chopped Onion*  

1/2 - 1 Cup Sweet Pepper (any color)* 

1 TBSP Minced Garlic (3 small cloves)

4 Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts

1 Can Black Beans, rinsed & drained

1 Can Red Beans or Kidney Beans, rinsed & drained

1 can crushed tomatoes  

½ tsp. black pepper

Shredded Cheese to cover top

Flour Tortilla (uncooked variety is best)

Guacamole

Sour Cream

Cook onion, sweet pepper & garlic in ½ oil.  Put in 13 x 9 pan, coated with cooking spray.  Cook diced chicken in same pan w/remaining oil until no longer pink.  Combine beans, tomatoes, black pepper & chicken in 9 x 13 and mix well with onion mixture.  Cover w/cheese & cook for about 30 minutes or until hot.  Serve with tortillas, sour cream, & Guacamole and more shredded cheese.

*I slice the peppers lengthwise into strips so that those who don't care for peppers can easily avoid them.

*I usually chop my onion really fine or I slice it into rings for the same reason as the peppers:)
