Love fajitas, but not the calories? This fajita salad is for you!! Fresh romaine, corn, olives, chicken, tomatoes, red onions and peppers make it delish!

Ingredients

• 1-2 cups diced chicken
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 green pepper, sliced
• 1 red pepper, sliced
• ½ red onion, sliced
• ½ 1.25-oz package taco seasoning
• 1 fresh bunch romaine lettuce, chopped (or 1 bag)
• 1 cup corn (I used fire-roasted canned corn, drained)
• ½ cup sliced olives, drained
• 2 roma tomatoes, diced
• Chipotle Southwest Dressing or Chipotle Ranch for topping (I used the low fat version)

Instructions

1. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown chicken in olive oil.
2. Add in peppers and onion until they start to get a little bit tender (you don't want mushy peppers on your salad).
3. Remove from heat and stir in taco seasoning.
4. In a large bowl, combine lettuce, corn, olives, and tomatoes. Add in the chicken and peppers.
5. Serve with Chipotle dressing.

Notes

*Serving suggestion: top with crunchy tortilla strips
