Instructions
- Season chicken with 1/4 tsp. (1 mL) chili powder and, if desired, ground black pepper. Melt 1 Tbsp. (15 mL) Becel® Buttery Taste margarine in medium nonstick skillet over medium heat and cook chicken, turning once, until chicken is throughly cooked, about 12 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet and cut into cubes. Let stand covered in small bowl; set aside.
- Melt remaining 1 Tbsp. (15 mL) margarine in same skillet over medium-high heat and cook green pepper, onion and remaining 1/4 tsp. (1 mL) chili powder, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are just tender and starting to brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in beans and tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through, about 1 minute. Return chicken and any juices to skillet, then stir in cilantro and lime juice.
- Meanwhile, gently press 1 tortilla in 2-cup (500 mL) microwave-safe bowl to form bowl shape. Microwave at HIGH 1 minute. Let cool 1 minute. Gently lift out tortilla and arrange on serving plate. Repeat with remaining tortilla.
- To serve, arrange lettuce in bottom of each tortilla bowl, then evenly spoon chicken and vegetables. Serve, if desired, with hot pepper.
