This may be a simple, throw together kind of salad, but this was one of Mom's favorites and it holds a special place in my heart, and my tummy. I hope you enjoy this quick salad just as much as Mom did!

Ingredients

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 tablespoon avocado oil
• 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 (11 ounce) can Mexican-style corn
• ½ cup salsa
• 1 (24 ounce) package mixed salad greens of your choice
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 tomato, cut into wedges
• 1 bell pepper of your choice, diced
• Homemade fajita seasoning, or 1 (1.27 ounce) packet of your favorite fajita seasoning, divided

Equipment

• Skillet
• Spatula and/or tongs
• Large saucepan
• Large salad bowl

Instructions

1. Sliced chicken breasts into thin strips and rub chicken evenly with 1/2 the fajita seasoning. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat, and cook the chicken approximately 5 minutes on each side, or until juices run clear; set aside.
2. In a large saucepan, mix beans, corn, salsa, bell pepper and other 1/2 of fajita seasoning. Heat over medium heat until warm.
3. Prepare the salad by tossing the greens, onion and tomato. Top salad with chicken and dress with the bean, corn and pepper mixture.
4. Enjoy!

Notes

Optional toppings can be added, like pieces of avocado. You could also add tortilla strips for extra crunch. This salad is super simple and fast to throw together. If you don't want to cook chicken and want an easy crispy chicken version, try using chicken nuggets or chicken tenders oven baked or air fried and cut into bite size pieces!
