Fajita Salad Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Cook the Meat

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the steak or chicken and sprinkle fajita seasoning over it. Cook until the meat is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes for chicken or 7-10 minutes for steak. Remove from heat and let it rest.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add sliced bell peppers and onions. Sauté for about 3-5 minutes until they are tender but still crisp. Remove from heat.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, diced tomatoes, black olives, Cheddar cheese, and Monterey Jack cheese.

  4. 4

    Add Meat and Veggies

    Slice the cooked steak or chicken into strips and add it to the salad along with the sautéed bell peppers and onions.

  5. 5

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle lime juice over the salad, and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Top with sour cream.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Toss the salad gently to combine all ingredients and serve immediately.
