Cooking Steps

1

• Wash and dry produce. TIP: Thoroughly pat lettuce dry before assembling salad.

2

• Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Thinly slice crosswise into strips and place in a large microwave-safe bowl. Add a drizzle of oil, half the Fajita Spice Blend (all for 4 servings), salt, and pepper; stir to combine.

3

• Cover with plastic wrap; microwave until chicken is warmed through, 90 seconds.

4

• Meanwhile, trim and discard root end from lettuce; roughly chop. Dice tomato into ½-inch pieces.

5

• Place lettuce, tomato, and chicken in a second large bowl; crush half the tortilla chips over top. Drizzle with as much dressing as you like; toss to combine.

6

• Divide salad between shallow bowls and serve with remaining tortilla chips on the side.

  • Flavor: Many enjoyed the tasty combination, though some found the honey mustard dressing an odd choice for Southwest flavors.

  • Suggestions: Add corn, black beans, avocado, or cheese to make it heartier; consider offering a spicier dressing option.

  • Chicken: While convenient, a few found the pre-cooked chicken dry or rubbery; consider offering raw chicken as an option.
