Made a few tweaks, but adapted this recipe from Spicy Southern Kitchen! Loved this recipe! I made it on Sunday and it was great as lunch all week!
INGREDIENTS
-
3/4 cup mayonnaise
-
1/3 cup sour cream
-
2 tablespoons lime juice
-
1/2 packet taco seasoning
-
1 tbsp of Lawry’s® Carne Asada Seasoning
-
1 tbsp of olive oil
-
1 pound of chicken tenders (or chicken breasts)
-
14 ounce bag of coleslaw
-
1 cup shredded red cabbage
-
1/2 cup cooked corn kernels (I used 1 ear of grilled corn)
-
1/2 cup diced red pepper
-
1/3 cup diced red onion
-
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
-
2 jalapenos, seeded and finely diced
-
1/4 cup pepitas
-
Optional: tortilla strips
Instructions
-
Mix together mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, and taco seasoning in a small bowl. Set aside.
-
Preheat grill to medium high.
-
Coat chicken tenders with carne asada seasoning and olive oil. Feel free to add more or less seasoning to your liking.
-
Grill chicken tenders for 3 minutes per side, or until no longer pink in the middle. Remove from heat and set aside.
-
In a large bowl, combine cabbage mix, red cabbage, black beans, corn, red pepper, red onion, cilantro, and jalapeno.

I use this recipe for lunches, so I use 1 tablespoon of the dressing and add water to it so it coats my salad! If you are serving as a main dish, pour your dressing over the salad and mix together. Add chicken and pepitas. Top with tortilla strips!
PORTION FIX: I do 2 green so the cabbage mixture, 3/4 cup of chicken, 1 orange of pepitas and count the dressings as my teaspoons. I water down the dressing so it coats the entire salad!
2B MINDSET: Perfect for dinner or lunch!
