How to Make Creamy Chicken Black Bean Tacos

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add 1 onion (chopped) and 2 cloves garlic (minced) to the skillet and sauté for 3-5 minutes, until softened.
Stir in 1 (15-ounce) can black beans (rinsed and drained), 1 (15-ounce) can corn (drained), 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), and salt and pepper to taste.
Add 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken and cook for 2-3 minutes, until heated through.
Reduce heat to low and stir in 4 ounces cream cheese until melted and creamy.
Warm corn or flour tortillas according to package directions.
Fill tortillas with the chicken and black bean mixture. Top with your favorite taco toppings (salsa, avocado, sour cream, etc.) and serve immediately with Uncle Ben's Southwest Rice (optional).
