grilled chili lime chicken fajita salad











SO delicious!  So delicious I want to eat dinner all over again right now.  But it's gone.  Absolutely nothing is left of it.  My husband said it was really good.  A daughter said it was amazing.  It really was.
Note:  The marinade/dressing is outstanding.

marinade/dressing:
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/3 cup lime juice
2 tablespoons cilantro
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon red chili flakes
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon salt

salad:
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1/2 red bell pepper, sliced
1/2 green bell pepper, sliced
1 onion, sliced
5 cups romaine, cut
2 avocados, peeled and diced

Marinate chicken in half of the dressing for 2 hours to overnight.  Save the other half of the dressing to use as the salad dressing.
Grill the chicken thighs.  You know how to do that.  Just grill until they're done.
Fry the onions and peppers in a frying pan.
On a large platter, arrange the romaine, grilled chicken, peppers & onions and avocados.  Pour the dressing over the top.  Sprinkle with cilantro leaves.  Serve with toasted tortillas.
