CHICKEN AND BEAN SOFT TACOS

Steps:

• saute onion in large pan till translucent. Add garlic and chopped jalapeno, saute briefly, stirring.
• (Sometimes if I don't have cooked chicken on hand, I cut raw chicken in strips and saute it along with the onions.).
• Add chicken, seasonings and remaining ingredients (except tortillas and toppings).
• Cook over medium high heat, till ingredients are combined and liquid cooks down - about 5-10 minutes.
• This timing of the cooking is flexible, depending on how much seasoning you add, how much liquid is in your beans, if you add tomato sauce, etc. I make it spicy and just wet enough that it's not dried out, but not watery or gloppy.
• Adjust seasonings, salt to taste. (For me, it's often at this point when I decide if I want to add the taste of tomato sauce.).
• Serve in flour tortillas with your favorite toppings.
