Instructions

Step 1

In a bowl combine the cayenne, chili powder, oregano, garlic powder and salt. Mix well then move 1/2 of the mixture to a large gallon Ziploc bag, and the other 1/2 to a small sandwich sized bag (or smaller). Add the chicken strips to the large bag of spices and shake and squish until all the chicken is covered in spices, then drop the small bag in (make sure it is closed) and place in the fridge for the minimum of 3 hours but 24 is even better. If you are going to freeze the chicken for later now is the time to do so. Thinly slice the onion, jalapeno (seed if desired), and bell peppers. Set aside. Dice the tomato. Set aside. In a large skillet heat the olive oil on medium-high and drop in the chicken, brown on both sides about 5 minutes total then add in the bell pepper, onion, jalapeno and the leftover spice rub. Mix together and cook until the onions and bell pepper are soft about 10-15 minutes. Add in the corn, beans and tomatoes and cook for another 3-5 minutes until all is heated up then serve.
