Steps

1
HEAT olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
2
ADD cubed chicken. After you touch raw meat, including the bowl the meat was in, WASH YOUR FUCKING HANDS.
3
SPRINKLE taco seasoning over chicken and give it a stir, then add butter and rice. Your chicken doesn't need to be fully cooked, so don't freak out about it.
4
STIR again and let the rice toast for a minute. Toasting the rice keeps it from becoming mushy. Scrape up any stuck-on brown bits from the bottom of the pan—that's FLAVOR.
5
POUR IN enchilada sauce and chicken broth. Stir to make sure nothing is stuck to the bottom of the pan.
6
TOSS IN corn and black beans, stir it a final time, then put a lid on this bitch. Let it simmer for about 20 minutes, until there is minimal liquid left in the pot and rice is tender.
7
TURN OFF the heat. Stir the pot to fluff up the rice and make sure everything is combined. Mix in cheddar cheese.
8
SERVE it up with whatever the hell you would normally put on a taco, burrito or enchilada.

Creator's notes

No, she didn't wash the rice — it's fine. Toasting the rice in butter keeps it from turning to mush. Taco seasoning is homemade; the blend recipe is on her blog.
