Simple Mexican Stew

Simple Mexican Stew
1 cup onion, diced
2-4 cloves garlic, minced
2 Tbsp olive or red palm oil
2-4 cups cooked chicken meat (use less or more depending on your tastes!)
1/3 cup taco seasoning
4 cans diced tomatoes
2 cans black beans (drained and rinsed)
2 cups frozen corn
8 oz chopped green chilis
2 cups chicken broth
1 Tbsp cornstarch (optional)

Saute garlic and onion in oil for a couple of minutes. Add remaining ingredients and simmer for 15 minutes.

That's it! Serve with crusty rolls and you've got your meal, unless you're like me and didn't plan ahead. Then you serve it with saltine crackers.

I used 2 cans diced tomatoes, 1 can of tomato sauce and 1 can of El Pato Jalepeno tomato sauce for the 4 cans diced tomatoes and 8 oz jalepenos. It worked for our tastes just right!
