Salad Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Cook the Chicken

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the boneless, skinless chicken breast. Sprinkle taco seasoning evenly over the chicken. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the chicken is cooking, chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place it in a large salad bowl. Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the lettuce. Dice the red onion finely and mix it in as well.

  3. 3

    Add Beans and Corn

    Rinse and drain the black beans, then add them to the salad bowl along with the corn.

  4. 4

    Slice the Chicken

    Once the chicken has rested, slice it into strips and add it on top of the salad.

  5. 5

    Top with Cheese and Dressing

    Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the salad. For the dressing, mix sour cream with the juice of the whole lime. Drizzle this mixture over the salad for added flavor.

  6. 6

    Garnish

    Chop fresh cilantro and sprinkle it over the top of the salad for garnish.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Toss the salad gently to combine all ingredients before serving. Enjoy your Chicken & Guacamole Taco Salad!
