Fajita Salad Ingredients
Method
Fajita Salad Directions
Cook the Cajun Filet Mignon
In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the filet mignon tips with salt, black pepper, and chipotle powder. Sear the tips for about 3-4 minutes on each side until cooked to your desired doneness. Remove from heat and let rest.
Prepare the Vinaigrette
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining olive oil, honey, apple cider vinegar, and a pinch of salt and black pepper until well combined.
Assemble the Salad
In a large bowl, combine the romaine lettuce, diced tomato, avocado, black beans, and cheddar-jack cheese. Toss gently to combine.
Add the Filet Mignon
Slice the rested filet mignon tips and add them to the salad mixture.
Dress the Salad
Drizzle the chipotle-honey vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to coat all ingredients.
Serve
Top the salad with tortilla chips or strips for added crunch and serve immediately.
