  1. 1

    Prepare the Fajita Vegetables

    In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add sliced bell peppers and onions, and sauté until tender and slightly charred, about 5-7 minutes. Add zucchini and continue to sauté for an additional 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Protein

    If using chicken, steak, or shrimp, grill or sauté your choice of protein until cooked through. Season with salt, pepper, and any desired fajita seasoning.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, sautéed fajita vegetables, black beans, diced tomato, and grilled protein. Drizzle with remaining olive oil and lime juice, then toss gently to combine.

    Serve

    Top the salad with guacamole and crumbled queso fresco before serving. Enjoy!
