Cooking Steps
• Wash and dry produce. TIP: Thoroughly pat lettuce dry before assembling salad.
• 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.
• Cover with plastic wrap; microwave until chicken is warmed through, 90 seconds.
• Meanwhile, trim and discard root end from lettuce; roughly chop. Dice tomato into ½-inch pieces.
• 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.
• Divide salad between shallow bowls and serve with remaining tortilla chips on the side.

Reviews from our home cooks
Love the southwest spice on the chicken and the chips add a nice crunch.
Not sure why you would add honey mustard dressing to a southwest salad...the spices did not blend well with the honey mustard. Luckily I had a pack of ranch dressing and some left over guacamole and made avocado ranch dressing. With the right dressing, it was fabulous.
Loved the chips included within the salad - fun salty crunch that was such a great addition! Think we'll get this again!!
Nice, fresh, easy dinner on a hot day. I would have liked grape tomatoes instead of Roma as they taste better. Also would have liked guacamole with salad.
Very good salad. Produce was fresh. Fajita seasoning for the chicken was really good.
This was fast and easy! Very tasty and perfect summer salad with a kick!
I added sautéed onions & peppers to the fajita chicken. We used salsa as dressing. Seemed to make more sense than honey mustard. We liked this one.
I was pleasantly surprised! I wasn't sure how the pre cooked chicken would taste. It was really good and the best part, the whole meal was super easy! The only negative, I wish here was more dressing.
I love salads in the summer! This had good flavors and was so easy to put together. Good stuff!
needed another ingredient such as black beans or avacado I added roasted corn - honey mustard dressing was pleasant, but would have preferred something more southwest.
