Fajita Salad Recipe

Preparation Instructions

1. 1

   Marinate the Protein

   In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken or beef strips, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

2. 2

   Grill the Vegetables

   Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add sliced onions and bell peppers. Grill for about 5-7 minutes or until they are tender and slightly charred. Remove from heat and set aside.

3. 3

   Cook the Protein

   On the same grill, cook the marinated chicken or beef strips for approximately 6-8 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center. Remove from the grill and allow to rest for a few minutes before slicing.

4. 4

   Assemble the Salad

   In a large serving bowl, layer the chopped lettuce, grilled vegetables, diced tomatoes, and sliced chicken or beef. Top with shredded cheddar cheese, guacamole, and sour cream.

5. 5

   Serve

   Toss the salad gently to combine. Serve immediately, either as a main dish or as a side.
