Name: Cheesy Chicken and Pinto Bean Taco Skillet
Total time: 30 min
Yield: Serves 4 (serving size: 2 tacos plus toppings)
Ingredients: 3 cups shredded rotisserie chicken (from 1 chicken); 2 (15-oz.) cans pinto beans, drained and rinsed; 2 cups refrigerated pico de gallo, drained; 1 teaspoon kosher salt; 1 (8-oz.) block Monterey Jack cheese, shredded (about 2 cups); 8 soft-taco-size tortillas, warmed; 2 cups baby arugula (2 oz.); 1 cup thinly sliced radishes (2 oz.); 1 cup shaved red onions (from 1 medium onion); Sour cream, Cotija cheese, guacamole (optional)

If you&rsquo;re in need of a simple, tasty dish that works for a weeknight meal, consider that need fulfilled. This skillet dish is effortless to throw together and super customizable&mdash;you can use black beans or kidney beans instead of pinto. If you&rsquo;re not in the mood for chicken, try shredded pulled pork from your favorite BBQ place. You can tailor the toppings as you see fit, so keep an open imagination. Serving is simple: just put everything on the table and let everyone make their own tacos.
