Instructions


  1. Prepare fajita seasoning. Combine the chili powder, onion powder, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, oregano, and salt in a small bowl and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add oil and sauté peppers and onion until softened; about 5 minutes. Add garlic, sauté for 1 minute more. Transfer pepper and onion mixture onto a plate, set aside.
  3. Half chicken breasts and toss in fajita seasoning. 
  4. Add oil to the skillet and cook chicken breasts until juices run clear and meat is no longer pink in the middle (or internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F). Remove from skillet, thinly slice chicken breasts crosswise.
  5. While the chicken is cooking, prepare the avocado cream dressing. Combine avocado, cilantro, and lemon juice in a blender, puree until smooth. Add water to thin. 
  6. To assemble, fill a large bowl with mixed greens. Arrange sliced chicken breasts, pepper and onion mixture, quinoa, and avocado slices on top of greens. Garnish the bowl with thinly sliced green onions and finely chopped cilantro. Serve with a splash of avocado cream dressing.
