This fajita salad recipe is an easy and delicious twist on classic chicken fajitas. Crisp salad greens are topped with flavorful chicken, fajita veggies and fresh green salsa.
Place the chicken on a plate and pat dry with a paper towel. Rub the seasoning on both sides of the chicken.
Place 1 Tablespoon oil and butter into a frying pan over medium-heat. Once it has warmed up, place the chicken into the pan and allow to cook for 4 minutes on each side, or until the center is cooked through and the edges are golden. Remove meat from the pan and allow to cool slightly. Then cut into strips.
Place another Tablespoon oil into the same pan. Then cook the peppers, onions and green chiles for 3 to 5 minutes, or until tender.
Next place your lettuce into a bowl and then layer with the chicken, bell pepper mixture, avocados, tomatoes, cilantro and limes. Then just before serving, squeeze the lime over the top and drizzle the green salsa on top.
Notes
Grilling method: You can also grill your chicken if preferred. Season as instructed and cook on grill on medium-high heat for 4-6 minutes on each side.Meat: You may also use steak or shrimp instead of chicken. Dressing: Feel free to top with dressing of choice. I prefer salsa verde, but cilantro lime dressing, ranch dressing or red salsa taste great too.
