Fajita Salad

I created this when I had to lose some weight for a friend's wedding, in order to fit into a bridesmaid dress. It's a great salad, uses no dressing, and is even filling enough for the man in the house! If you have leftovers, stuff it into pitas - it's wonderful.

Serves 4

3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
fajita seasoning
1 head romaine lettuce
3 tomatoes, diced
1/2 cup frozen corn, thawed (fire-roasted is best, if you can get it!)
1 can black beans, drained
1/4 cup cilantro leaves
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/2 bell pepper, chopped
1/4 cup cheddar cheese
1/2 lime
1/2 cup you favorite salsa
1 avocado, sliced

Generously season the chicken and grill until cooked, about 7 minutes per side. Let cool and slice.

Once the chicken is cool, toss all ingredients together, adding the avocado slices last so it doesn't get mashed. Serve!
