Black bean chicken tacos

After searching through various online recipes and plucking various steps from those , I cobbled together a brand new recipe that will use ingredients I already have on hand.

1 chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
Salt, cumin, and chili powder to taste
½ 15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
2 tortillas
½ cup of rice
1 clove garlic, minced
Cheese (I always have pecorino romano in the house.)

Cook chicken and seasoning until done. Add beans to the pan, mix well and cook until heated through, about five minutes.

Heat a medium skillet over high heat. Add the rice and garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Add 1 cup water, a bouillon packet, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low; cover and simmer, undisturbed, about 25 minutes. Sprinkle the chicken and cheese over the rice mixture, cover and remove from the heat.

*edit* I made vegan brownies for dessert. They were delicious!

*side note: could the media PLEASE stop saying that Robsten...oops, I mean Pattypoo and KStew are "braving" crowds in the wake of their breakup. It doesn't matter if you're going through a bad breakup, you have a hangnail or your leg has fallen off, you still get your ass to work and do your job (except for the leg falling off, maybe.) As movie actors, one is required to promote movies one is starring in. Press, stop being dramatic tools.
