Ta Da..... Chicken Taco Salad (I know this is nothing creative but it was quick and easy and that is what I was looking for)
Ingredients:
chicken tenderloins
yellow or white onion
yellow, red or orange pepper
tomatoes
lettuce
pinto beans
avocado
cheddar cheese
sour cream
salsa
tortilla chips
cumin
chili powder
paprika
salt
Amounts depend on the size of your family and how much you like of each item. I made enough for Craig and I and 1 small leftover salad for Craig's lunch tomorrow.
I used 4 tenderloins - cut bite sized. 1/4 of a pepper - chopped bite size. 1/6 of a large yellow onion chopped bite size. Add all these to a frying pan and cook until done. While sauteing sprinkle with the spices to taste.
While chicken, onions and peppers are cooking - tear lettuce into bite size pieces (we used about 1/2 of a romaine lettuce head), chopped tomatoes into bite size pieces (I used 3 small tomatoes), open can of pinto beans and drain, (sometimes I use kidney beans or black beans but I saw the pinto first in the pantry), peel and cut avocado (1 small to medium avocado was used) and grate cheese (I had about 3/4 cup of grated cheese).
I put each item in their own serving bowl and placed it on the table. Sometimes I used chili cheese Fritos but today was the last handfuls at the bottom of the Costco Kirtland Tortilla Strips. Yes, they were a little crumbled and broken already but you break them up for your salad anyway.
