Ingredients

  • 4 large russet potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3 cups cooked chicken chopped bite-size
  • 15.5 ounces canned black beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup frozen corn thawed
  • 1 cup salsa
  • cup shredded cheddar cheese OPTIONAL

Optional Toppings

  • sour cream
  • green onions thinly sliced
  • fresh cilantro chopped small
  • additional salsa as desired

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Scrub the potatoes to remove all dirt and then rinse and dry thoroughly. Poke several holes into each potato with a fork and then place them on a baking sheet.
  • Drizzle the potatoes lightly with oil. Generously sprinkle each potato with salt and then place them in the oven. Bake for 55-65 minutes, until fork tender. They should be crisp on the outside and tender inside.
  • When the potatoes are almost finished baking, combine the chicken, black beans, corn, and salsa in a skillet. Stir gently to combine and warm over low heat until hot, about 5-8 minutes. Add more salsa as desired, until the chicken mixture is as saucy as you like.
  • When the potatoes are finished, remove them from the oven and slice each one down the center. Fluff the inside of each potato with a fork and top with the salsa chicken mixture.
  • Cover with cheese and serve immediately or return to the oven for a couple of minutes to melt the cheese. Top with sour cream, green onions, cilantro, and/or additional salsa before serving, if desired.
