Lets train

I don't know about you, but Mexican food is a staple in our house.

We have some sort of Mexican dish on the menu at least 1-2 times a week.

In honor of Cinco de Mayo, I wanted to share one of my favorite "healthier" Mexican meals.

Here is what you need:

Directions:

I use my Quick & Easy Shredded Chicken Recipe {HERE} to cook the chicken. I boil 2-3 frozen chicken breasts & then put them in my kitchen aid and it shreds up the chicken!

Pour the seasoning mixture on the chicken & coat the chicken.
Now it's time to assemble your salad. Chop up the lettuce & put in a bowl.
Layer diced tomatoes, diced green onion, shredded chicken, drained black beans & chopped avocado:

Sprinkle with shredded cheese:
Add Fresh Salsa, Guacamole & Sour Cream....this is your salad dressing:

Squeeze some fresh lime juice on top & garnish with tortilla strips:
Such a pretty salad.....
But now it's time to toss the salad & serve it.
You could also add corn or rice to this salad.
I add fresh corn to this salad during the summer months when corn on the cob is at the Farmers market :)
This meal reminds me of a salad you could get at Chipotle, it is so yummy!
It can be made as an individual serving or for a group.
It is delicious!
