1 boneless chicken breast (about 12 ounces)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
R.W. Garcia Lo's Tortilla Chips
1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 red bell pepper,coarsely chopped
1/2 cup Eden canned black beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
8 cups (about 5 ounces) mixed greens
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 Haas avocado
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 small tomato, coarsely chopped
Dressing:
1/3 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon grated lime peel
1 clove garlic, pushed through a press
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon salt
For Salad:
Prepare a medium grill or preheat broiler. Brush grill with oil. Season
chicken breast with salt and pepper.
Grill 15 minutes, or until cooked through, turning once halfway through
cooking time. (Chicken may be made up to 1 day ahead. Cool before wrapping
and refrigerating.) Let chicken cool to room temperature, then thinly slice
on the diagonal.
In a large bowl toss red pepper, black beans, onion, greens, cilantro until
evenly mixed.
For dressing:
Whisk olive oil, lime juice, grated lime peel, garlic, chili powder, cumin
and salt.
To assemble salad:
Toss greens mixture with dressing until evenly coated. Cut avocado into thin
slices and toss with lime juice.
For each portion, place one-quarter of the greens mixture on each of four
plates. Top with one-quarter of the chicken slices, one-quarter of the
chopped tomato and one-quarter of the avocado slices.
If desired, serve with lime wedges. Top with slightly crumbled tortilla
chips and serve with more whole chips.
