CHICKEN FAJITA SALAD

A fajita commonly is any grilled meat served with a flour or corn tortilla, accompanied with shredded lettuce, sour cream, guacamole, salsa, cheese, and tomato. It is so easy to make as a salad. This salad can be served with a tortilla of choice, cheese and sour cream.

Chicken is marinated and kept for some time so that the marinade penetrates in to the chicken. Then it is seared on a griddle or grill pan until golden, crispy and cooked through. Cooked chicken is sliced and mixed with the sliced and grilled vegetables and lettuces. Drizzle half of the same marinade as salad dressing. I did not add paprika powder in salad dressing, only used to marinate the chicken, to give it a smokey flavor and colour.
