Tequila Lime Chicken Salad

So, tonight we had a Cinco de Mayo party on a plate!
This is my new favorite recipe! The flavors are so wonderful together!

Don't you love this plate! I got it from World Market! It was on sale for $1.49 so I just couldn't pass it up!

This is what went into the Chicken Marinade:

• 1 cup orange juice
• 2 shots Tequila
• 2 tsp minced garlic
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• juice from one lime
• 1/2 of a jalapeno, diced
• 1 tbsp chopped cilantro
  
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 1/2 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1/2 tsp kosher salt
• 1/4 tsp white pepper

You will also need 10 chicken tenders.

Pour all of your ingredients into a large Ziploc bag and add your chicken. Marinade overnight. Cook on an outdoor grill or George Foreman Grill.

I also made a Pico de Gallo to go with the Tequila Lime Chicken.

• 1 1/2 cups grape tomatoes, quartered
• 3 green onions, thinly sliced
• 1/2 jalapeno, chopped
• juice from 1 lime
• 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
• 1 tsp minced garlic
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp white pepper

Pour all of your ingredients into a bowl and stir to combine. Let stand for a bit while you cook your chicken so the flavors come together.

So, this is what went into the salad.

• Tequila Lime Chicken
  
• Lettuce
• Pico de Gallo
• Black Beans, warmed
  
• Shredded Jack Cheese
• Sliced Olives
• Sour Cream
• Crumbled Tortilla Chips

I also cooked up a little white rice with a 1/2 cup enchilada sauce, 1/4 cup petite diced tomatoes with green chilies and 1/4 cup sliced green onions.

I hope you love this too!

~Happy Cinco de Mayo!~
