INGREDIENTS
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed

DIRECTIONS
In a large skillet coated with cooking spray, saute the chicken until no longer pink. Add the tomatoes; cook over medium-high heat for 3 minutes or until tomato juice is reduced. Stir in the beans, paprika, cumin and cayenne; cook for 5 minutes or until heated through.
Arrange the tortilla chips on two large microwave-safe plates; sprinkle each with 1/4 cup cheese. Top with chicken mixture and remaining cheese. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 25-30 seconds or until cheese is melted. Yield: 8 servings.
