Ingredients:

• 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced
• 1 green bell pepper, seeded and diced
• 1 small onion, diced
• 1 cup of corn kernels
• 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 cup diced tomatoes
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 1/4 cup taco seasoning There are so many seasonings to choose from, but the easiest is to purchase a pre-built seasoning packet that you already enjoy.
• 4–8 aluminum foil squares, depending on the size of your packets. Just an FYI, you may want to layer your packet with two layers of foil, depending on the quality of foil you’re using.
• Olive oil or cooking spray
• Salsa. Use either red or green salsa, depending on your preference.

Cooking Instructions:

1. Preheat your grill or campfire grill to medium-high heat.
2. In a large bowl, mix the chicken, bell peppers, onions, corn, black beans, tomatoes, cilantro, and taco seasoning.
3. Place a foil square on a flat surface and coat it lightly with olive oil or cooking spray.
4. Place one quarter of the chicken mixture in the center of the foil square.
5. Fold the foil over the chicken mixture, sealing the edges to create a packet. Repeat with the remaining foil squares and chicken mixture.
6. Grill the packets for 15–20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
7. Carefully open the packets and serve the chicken tex-mex mixture with your choice of toppings, such as sour cream, cheese, and additional cilantro. Enjoy!
