4. Remove the chicken from the pan; place on a plate and cover with foil.

6. Stir in the black beans and corn. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until corn is heated through. Add Tastic spice to taste. Turn off heat and stir in lime juice.
7. Return the chicken to the pan; place on top of the corn and bean mixture. Spoon reserved salsa over the chicken and serve. Garnish with lime wedges and cilantro leaves if desired.
