- 1 tbsp. Olive Oil

- 1 14-oz. can Corn Kernels, drain
- 1 15-oz can Navy Beans, drain and rinse
- 2 Chipotles in Adobo Sauce, chopped
- 2 tbsp. Adobo Sauce, from the can
- ½ medium Yellow Onion, chopped
- 1 Lime, juiced
- 1 tsp. Chipotle Chili Powder, or to your taste
- 2 tsp. Smoked Paprika

Instructions
- Add the olive oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the ground chicken to brown for 8-10 minutes.
- Add the chopped onion, drained corn, beans, chopped chipotles, and adobo sauce. Sauté for 4-5 minutes.
- Stir in the remaining ingredients. Cook on medium-low heat for 3-4 more minutes. Let cool to touch before assembling tacos.
- Preheat oven to 425F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Heat up the tacos over a griddle for 30 seconds on each side so they won’t break.
- Asemble the tacos by adding a generous scoop of the chicken mixture and shredded cheese. Fold and drizzle with olive oil. Place on the prepared pan. Repeat with remaining tacos.
- Bake for 12 minutes, flip the tacos over and bake an additional 10-12 minutes, until golden brown and crispy. Let cool 5 minutes before enjoying warm with lime wedges and sour cream!
