2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 skinless, boneless chicken breast half
2 tablespoons minced green onion
2 tablespoons minced red bell pepper
⅓ cup frozen corn kernels
¼ cup black beans, rinsed and drained

½ tablespoon minced fresh parsley
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon chili powder
⅓ teaspoon salt
1 pinch ground cayenne pepper
¾ cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
5 (6 inch) flour tortillas
