Mexican chicken surprise

Putting this recipe here for safe-keeping. It was totally a case of throwing together whatever I happened to have in the kitchen, but it turned out delicious!

Heat up some coconut oil in a large pan (use refined for higher temperatures).
Dump a large handful of frozen corn. Cook for a bit.
Dump a can of rinsed beans. I used garbanzo because that's all I had in the pantry--Jared says they didn't work but I actually really liked them. I had planned to use pinto beans though, or black beans would be nice too. Cook for a bit longer.
Dump some leftover shredded chicken from that rotisserie chicken you bought earlier in the week, and need to use up. Cook for a bit longer.
Add more coconut oil if needed.
Sprinkle a medium amount of onion powder, because you thought you had an onion but it turns out you didn't. Sprinkle a smaller amount of garlic powder for the same reason. Think about adding some cumin (I didn't). Cook a bit more.
Dump the rest of your opened jar of salsa. It should be about 2/3 of a jar, but more wouldn't hurt. Cook for a bit more.

Serve over rice (I had white basmati rice in the rice cooker with homemade broth, real salt, and butter--so yummy). Or use it for tacos, burritos, enchiladas, taco salads, whatever.
