Much like my Buffalo Chicken Salad, the leftovers of this salad are delicious repurposed into a tortilla wrap.

Speaking of buffalo chicken, you know what other fajitas are yummy? You guessed it, Buffalo Chicken Fajitas!

I do not include a salad dressing in this recipe. Some good options for dressing would be ranch, avocado ranch or cilantro lime vinaigrette.

🔪Instructions

If you are in the market for a new and fabulous non-stick pan, I can now say after almost a year of testing, my favorite pan is the N inja NeverStick Possible Pan.

Cut up chicken that is seasoned in a glass bowl.

Step 1: Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Toss well with fajita seasoning.

Cooked chicken that has been set aside on a plate.

Step 2: Cook the chicken with butter and oil. Remove chicken and set aside.

Onions and peppers being cooked in a large skillet.

Step 3: Add the onion and peppers to skillet (do not wipe out skillet) and cook until tender-crisp, or desired texture.

Salad is assembled in a white bowl. Above the bowl is a hand squeezing a lime into the bowl.

Step 4: Assemble by placing the lettuce/greens on the bottom of a plate and top with chicken, pepper mixture and whatever other toppings you are using.

🍲Leftovers

As I mentioned above, the leftovers of this salad are delicious if you wrap in a flour tortilla with your favorite dressing.

You can also add the chicken and vegetables to pasta or rice!

Top Tip: When storing leftovers, store the chicken separately.
