Instructions
- Finely dice the onion and tomato, thinly slice the cabbage, and chop the cilantro. Stir the cabbage, tomato, half the onion, cilantro, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt together, then let the slaw stand while you cook.
- Do not rinse the chicken. Pat it dry, season both sides with kosher salt, black pepper, and taco seasoning, then heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side, until browned and the thickest part reads 165°F (74°C) on an instant-read thermometer. Transfer it to a clean plate, then wash the board, knife, and your hands with soap and water before touching anything else.
- Warm the remaining onion in the same skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, until translucent and softened. Stir in the black beans and cook for 3-4 minutes, until hot and slightly creamy. Taste and adjust with salt and pepper.
- Arrange the corn tortillas on a baking sheet and bake at 425F for 6-8 minutes, turning once, until crisp and lightly golden. Sprinkle the cheddar over the hot tortillas and return them to the oven for 1-2 minutes, until melted.
- Slice the chicken and layer it over the cheesy tortillas with the warm beans and cabbage tomato slaw. Serve immediately.
