Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons gold tequila
1/4 cup lime juice
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 teaspoon taco seasoning
Salt and pepper
3/4 teaspoon minced garlic
3/4 teaspoon jalapeno pepper
1 boneless
3 cups salad greens
1/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1/2 cup pico de gallo
Crumbled tortilla chips, for garnish
1 tablespoon sour cream
1 tablespoon guacamole

Steps:

Mix the tequila, lime juice, orange juice, fajita seasoning, jalapeno, salt, pepper, and garlic in a container. Lay the chicken breasts in the marinade and cover. Refrigerate overnight.[[4]]
The next day, use a pair of kitchen tongs to take the chicken breasts out of the marinade. Preheat a grill and lay the chicken on it. Cook for five minutes, then turn and grill for 10 minutes more.[[3]]
Combine the ranch dressing with the taco seasoning. Set aside.
After the chicken is cooked, place it on a plate to cool. Mix the salad greens with the shredded cheese.
Top the salad with pico de gallo and crumbled tortilla chips over the top.[[5]]
Slice the cooled chicken into strips and lay on top of the salad.
Serve the salad with the dressing on the side, along with the guacamole and the sour cream.
