Ingredients

  • 4 large baking potatoes
  • 1 jar (16 ounces) black bean and corn salsa
  • 1 package (6 ounces) ready-to-use grilled chicken breast strips
  • 1 cup cubed process cheese (Velveeta)
  • 1 medium tomato, chopped
  • Optional toppings: Chopped green onions, sliced ripe olives and sour cream

Directions

  1. Scrub and pierce potatoes; place on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave, uncovered, on high until tender, 15-17 minutes, turning once.
  2. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, combine the salsa, chicken and cheese. Cook and stir over medium heat until cheese is melted.
  3. Cut an "X" in the top of each potato; fluff pulp with a fork. Spoon salsa mixture over potatoes and sprinkle with tomato. Serve with toppings of your choice.
