  1. Preheat large deep skillet on low- medium heat and swirl oil to coat.
  2. Add onion, garlic and bell pepper, saute for 3 mins
  3. Move veggies to the side of the skillet and add chicken. Sprinkle with 1 tsp of cumin, salt and black pepper. cook for about 5 mins
  4. Add corn, beans, Rotel, zucchini, taco seasoning and remaining cumin. Stir, cover and cook on low- medium for 10 mins
