1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon fajita seasoning
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
2 cloves garlic, minced
Nonstick cooking spray
2 14-1/2-ounce cans no-salt-added diced tomatoes
1 16-ounce package frozen pepper (yellow, green, and red) and onion stir-fry vegetables
1 15-ounce can cannellini beans (white kidney beans), rinsed and drained
3 tablespoons light dairy sour cream (optional)
3 tablespoons shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese (optional)

Directions
1. In a medium bowl, combine chicken, chili powder, fajita seasoning, cumin, and garlic; toss to coat. Coat an unheated large skillet with nonstick cooking spray.
