Chicken Taco Salad

Dinner tonight was supposed to be Turkey Taco Salad. But I didn't have any ground turkey and it was 70 degrees and the last thing I wanted to do was to cook inside! So I opted to grill some chicken with my favorite southwest seasoning that I found from the 21 Day Fix food guide. My oldest son does not like chicken but when I use this seasoning he loves it and actually requests more!

 



Southwest Seasoning

1 Tbsp chili powder

2 tsp ground cumin

1/2 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp dried oregano

1/2 tsp smoked paprika

1 tsp sea salt

 

I make up one batch of this and it lasts 2-3 dinners when I sprinkle it on the chicken (usually 4 chicken breasts per dinner). I cook up extra chicken with this seasoning and have it in the fridge for quick snacks and meal prep.
