Chicken Lime Tacos

** DISCLAIMER: This recipe is homemade and the measurements are to our liking. You may have slightly different tastes, so these measurements are just estimates to give you a ballpark to start with.

3-4 Chicken Breasts
1 Large Onion
3 cans Black Beans (drain one can)
1 1/2 cup Corn (frozen works)
2-3 cups Salsa (depending on how "saucy" you want it
3/4 cup Lime Juice
1/3 cup Vinegar
1/4 cup Brown Sugar
1/4 teaspoon Chili Powder (to lessen the spice, use just a little less)
Salt and Pepper to taste

Grill chicken in skillet or pan. Shred or slice into smaller pieces. Saute onion until clear. Pour beans into skillet, reserving one can juice until you see how "saucy" you want it to be. Pour in the remaining ingredients and let simmer. You may alter this recipe to fit your taste buds or your family size. We like to cook rice and eat it as a salad/burrito, or you can make actual tacos.

** Makes A LOT of food!! If you don't do well with leftovers, you can cut it in at least half and still have a good sized meal.
