Cooking Steps
-
Wash and dry produce.
-
Pat chicken dry with paper towels; thinly slice crosswise. Quarter lime.
-
Place chicken in a large microwave-safe bowl. Add half the Fajita Spice Blend (all for 4 servings), a drizzle of oil, and juice from half the lime; season with salt and pepper and toss to evenly coat. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave until chicken is warmed through, 90 seconds.
-
Meanwhile, trim and discard root end from lettuce; separate leaves. Halve tomato lengthwise; thinly slice into half-moons.
-
Combine queso blanco and 1 TBSP water (2 TBSP for 4 servings) in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave until warmed through, 30-45 seconds. Stir until smooth.
-
Divide lettuce leaves between plates; fill with chicken and tomato. Drizzle queso over top and serve with remaining lime wedges on the side.
