Laine's Mexsconsin Delight

I created this dish my senior year of college one night when my then-boyfriend (now husband) came over and I was looking for something to make for us for dinner. I had thawed chicken breasts and taco seasoning so I thought I'd make chicken tacos, but then decided to throw in some black beans and corn and serve it over rice instead. And Laine's Mexsconsin Delight was born! Although I didn't come up with the name; my dad gave it that name after the first time he had it and he decided it needed to be named in my honor.

Although I initially made this with cut-up chicken breasts, it can also be made with ground beef, pork, chicken, or turkey or cut-up pieces of pork. It also makes an excellent burrito filling with or without rice, and reheats really well. It's one of my husband's favorite dinners.
