## **How to Make This Irresistible Dish**
1. **Cook the Aromatics** – In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
2. **Add the Ingredients** – Stir in the diced tomatoes, black beans, corn, and cooked rice (or quinoa). Add the shredded chicken, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper, and mix everything together.
3. **Simmer** – Let everything cook together for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Stir occasionally to prevent anything from sticking to the pan.
4. **Add Cheese** – If you’re using cheese, sprinkle it on top during the last 2 minutes of cooking and cover the skillet to let it melt.
5. **Garnish and Serve** – Once everything is hot and melted, remove the skillet from the heat. Garnish with fresh cilantro for an extra burst of flavor. Serve and enjoy!
