1
Chop Lettuce
Wash and dry the romaine lettuce. Chop it into bite-sized pieces and place it in a large salad bowl.
2
Prepare Tomatoes
Wash the tomatoes. Cut them into wedges or cubes and add them to the bowl with the lettuce.

3
Prep Peppers and Onions
Wash the bell peppers and onion. Slice the bell peppers into strips and the onion into thin slices.
4
Heat Olive Oil
In a grill pan or skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
5
Grill Vegetables
Add the sliced bell peppers and onion to the pan. Season with salt and black pepper. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.

6
Combine Ingredients
Once the grilled vegetables are done, add them to the bowl with the lettuce and tomatoes.
7
Add Cheese and Sauce
Sprinkle the cheddar cheese over the top of the salad and drizzle the spicy Aztec sauce evenly over the salad.
8
Toss the Salad
Gently toss the salad to combine all ingredients thoroughly before serving.
