This was a completely unplanned meal that was DELICIOUS!
I was in the mood for something spicy and filling the end result, SHELL(less) grilled chicken fajitas in a chili cheese sauce with yellow rice and black beans. When I decided what I was in the mood for I had actually run out of cheese and had no tortilla shells on hand.

2 Chicken breast--sliced into strips
1 Yellow onion--finely chopped
1 Clove of garlic
1 Package of cheddar seasoning (stole from my meal on the go cabinet)
1 Jar of black bean+corn chunky salsa (HOT)
Liquid smoke-to taste
1 lbs Black beans (I prefer dried not canned--lower sodium)
2 Cups of White Rice (I usually used brow rice but you HAVE to use white rice for yellow)
1 packet Sazon (some say Safron but my family uses Sazon religiously)
1/3 Cup of canola oil
2 Teaspoons of salt (or substitute with Mrs. Dash)
Chili Powder
2 and 1/2 Cups of

It's pretty easy. Everything I prepared separately. The chili cheese sauce was what added the kick! I combined the cheese sauce mixture with milk and butter (Soy Garden spread-Earth Balance) allowed it to simmer and thicken added the salsa, sauce goes over the grilled chicken strips. I happened to have prepared the breast in advance for another meal. I used Liquid Smoke for that grilled taste, I cooked the chicken with the chopped garlic yellow onion, and shallots.
