Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Prepare the chicken

Cut chicken into thin strips. Place in a bowl.

2
Season the chicken

Add olive oil and seasonings to the chicken. Toss to coat evenly. Let marinate for 10 minutes.

3
Prepare the vegetables

Wash bell peppers. Remove stems and seeds. Slice peppers into thin strips. Peel onion and slice into thin strips.

4
Cook the chicken

Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken strips. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked through. Remove from pan and set aside.

5
Cook the vegetables

In the same pan, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Add sliced peppers and onions. Cook for 5-6 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp and slightly charred. Season with remaining cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper.

6
Prepare the salad base

Wash and dry lettuce. Tear or chop into bite-sized pieces. Wash tomatoes and cut into wedges. Arrange lettuce on a large platter or individual plates. Top with tomato wedges.

7
Make the dressing

Cut lime in half and squeeze to extract juice. In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper.

8
Assemble the salad

Place cooked chicken strips over the lettuce. Arrange the sautéed peppers and onions on top.

Finish and serve

Drizzle with the lime dressing. Serve immediately.
