I love Mexican food, don't you? The problem is, it's not usually all that good for you...Bummer, right!?! I think so, too. Well, here's my attempt at making some healthy Mexican-style food! It's a delicious salad that leaves you feeling very full! If you combine all ingredients and have left overs, you ought to just toss it out...the lettuce gets wilted and the dressing will run...not so great left over...
Note: This recipe feeds a whole family.
What you'll need:
-2-3 cups Black bean salsa (recipe previously posted)
-low fat sour cream
-romaine lettuce
-iceberg lettuce
-2 chicken breasts
-2 tblsp olive oil
-chili powder
-onion powder
-garlic powder
-black pepper
-1/2 red onion, diced (optional)
-2 avocados "diced"
-2 tomatoes
What to do (Chicken):
Slice your breasts in half so that it appears that you have 4 breasts in front of you. Lightly coat chicken with black pepper, chili, onion, and garlic powder. Heat large pan with oil over medium-high heat. When oil is warm, place chicken in pan. Fry 5-7 minutes on each side, always check your chicken for doneness. Remove from heat (allow to cool for a bit), shred or slice chicken. Set aside.
What to do (Dressing):
Take your 2-3 cups black bean salsa and add about 1/2-1 cup low fat sour cream, combine. Ban, there's your dressing!
What to do (Salad):
Chop iceberg and romaine, rinse and allow to drip "dry". Dice your onions, avocado and tomatoes how you like them. If you know that your family will eat all of the salad, go ahead and toss all the ingredients together. Personally, I prefer to dress every bowl of salad, so that if there are leftovers we can refrigerate it all separately to retain maximum freshness. Now enjoy your salad! I know I love it! :)
