Instructions
• Wash and dry produce. • Core, deseed, and cut green pepper into ½-inch pieces. Drain corn, then pat dry with paper towels. Zest and quarter lime. • Place beans and their liquid in a medium bowl; mash with a potato masher or fork until mostly smooth (it’s OK if they’re still slightly chunky).
Pat chicken or steak dry with paper towels and season generously all over with salt and pepper. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken or steak; cook chicken until browned and cooked through, 3-5 minutes per side, or cook steak to desired doneness, 5-7 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board.
• Heat a drizzle of oil in a medium pan (large pan for 4 servings) over medium-high heat. Add green pepper and corn. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until pepper is softened and corn is golden brown and lightly charred in spots, 4-6 minutes. • Stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4) until melted. Add mashed beans and juice from half the lime. Season with cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until beans are warmed through and liquid is mostly reduced, 1-2 minutes. • Remove from heat. Stir in Mexican cheese blend.
• While black bean skillet cooks, trim and discard root end from lettuce; separate leaves and thinly slice. • In a small bowl, combine sour cream and lime zest. Add water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency. Season with salt and pepper.
• Serve black bean skillet directly from pan or divide between plates. Top with tortilla chips (lightly crushing first) and lettuce in separate sections. • Drizzle lime crema over lettuce and serve with hot sauce and remaining lime wedges on the side. TIP: For perfect balance, finish with a squeeze of lime juice right before serving!
Slice chicken or steak against the grain. Place atop skillet along with tortilla chips and lettuce.
Chicken is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.
