Method

Wash and drain lettuce. Heat olive oil in a skillet; add and cook chicken tenders until done. Add package of seasoning mix and water, stir to combine. Simmer chicken about 5-6 minutes turning once. Remove from skillet. Drain and rinse beans; add and heat until warm. To assemble salad, cut lettuce and place on a platter. Top with beans, chicken strips, salsa, cheese, tomato, onions, and sour cream. Serve immediately.

 

Notes: We love taco salads and tried a version with chicken that seemed to be lower in fat and carbohydrates. We left-out the chips that add to the fat and calories. We use a fat free sour cream also.
