Directions

  • Step one

    Spray a 4 to 6-quart Dutch oven with cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Add chicken and onion and cook until browned, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season chicken with salt and pepper.

  • Step two

    Stir in broth and undrained tomatoes; bring to a boil. Stir in uncooked pasta, beans, and taco seasoning. Cover and cook until pasta is cooked and most of the liquid is absorbed, 12 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Microwave corn according to package directions.

  • Step three

    Stir in cheese and cooked corn. Garnish with cilantro, if desired and serve.

Tips

Make it vegetarian by leaving out the chicken and swapping chicken broth with vegetable broth
