This recipe came from Texas, which is famous for its Mexican food. I love to cook, even though it's just for me and my husband now. I invite our grown kids over a lot, and they just love this chicken fajita salad. I'm happy to share it! —Lois Proudfit, Eugene, Oregon

Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons canola oil, divided
  • 1/2 cup lime juice
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
  • 1 medium onion, cut into thin wedges
  • 1 medium sweet red pepper, cut into thin strips
  • 2 cans (4 ounces each) chopped green chiles
  • 1 cup unblanched almonds, toasted
  • 3 cups shredded lettuce
  • 3 medium tomatoes, cut into wedges
  • 1 medium ripe avocado, peeled and sliced

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons oil, lime juice, garlic, cumin and oregano. Pour half in a large bowl or dish; add chicken and turn to coat. Marinate for at least 30 minutes. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade.
  2. In a large skillet, heat remaining oil on medium-high. Saute onion for 2-3 minutes or until crisp-tender.
  3. Drain chicken, discarding marinade. Add chicken to skillet; stir-fry until meat is no longer pink. Add the red pepper, chiles and reserved marinade; cook 2 minutes or until heated through. Stir in almonds. Serve immediately over shredded lettuce; top with tomatoes and avocado.
