Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken or Steak

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, ground cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken or steak strips and toss to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill the Meat

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the meat from the marinade and grill for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked (165°F for chicken, 145°F for steak). Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Salad

    In a large bowl, place the mixed salad greens. Top with sliced grilled meat, shredded cheddar cheese, avocado slices, diced tomatoes, and sliced black olives.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Toss the salad gently to combine all ingredients before serving. Enjoy your Southwestern-Grilled Fajita Salad!
