Southwest Chicken Fajita Salad

Try an avocado ranch dressing and some spicy sriracha to spice up your salad routine! Serves 4-6

1 salad mix (spring mix etc)
2 tomatoes, diced
1 can corn (drained)
1 can black beans (drained and rinsed)
2 large or 4 thin chicken breasts, marinated**
Shredded cheese
Tortilla strips (see recipe here for homemade tortilla strips)

Dressing:
2 avocados
1/2 cup Ranch dressing
handful of chopped cilantro
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
A few tbsp milk to thin as needed

**Marinate chicken breast in ~1/3 cup olive oil to coat chicken. Season with salt, pepper, paprika, cumin, chili powder, garlic and onion powders as desired (or your favorite seasoning blend). Let sit a few hours. You may also use precooked chicken/rotisserie chicken/leftover grilled or baked chicken for your salad.

  1. Grill chicken in air fryer, oven, pan, grill etc. Set aside and assemble salad with any desired toppings.
  2. Prepare dressing ingredients in a small blender/food processor or mash with fork until avocado is creamy and dressing well blended. Pour over salad and enjoy! Add a few drops of sriracha sauce for extra zing!
