FIESTA GRILLED CHICKEN SALAD
I came up with this delicious meal salad after I found I was all too often relying on prepackaged deli salads that were too expensive and not always the freshest. This is quick and easy, can be prepared ahead and scaled up or down depending on the servings needed.

Steps:
- Mix lime juice, olive oil, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper together in a resealable plastic bag along with the chicken breasts. Marinate in the refrigerator at least 1 hour to overnight.

FIESTA GRILLED CHICKEN
Tequila and lime seasoned chicken breast topped with Tex-Mex bean salad. Quite tasty. This is great for a summer BBQ. I serve this with grilled corn-on-the-cob.
