Ingredients

    3 chicken breasts
    Salt and Pepper to taste
    1/2 cup lime juice
    2 tbsp olive oil
    4 cloves of garlic
    1 tsp each chili powder, ground cumin and salt
    19 oz can black beans, rinsed and drained
    2 large tomatoes
    1/2 cup chopped green onion
    4 cups romaine lettuce

Directions

Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Grill the chicken on both sides until it is no longer pink inside. Set aside at least 10 minutes and then cut into strips.

In a mini blender, combine lime juice, olive oil, garlic, chili powder, cumin and salt. Process until relatively smooth (I find it helps if you pre-chop the garlic prior to putting in the blender).

On a plate, layer the lettuce, tomato, black beans, chicken and onion. Evenly spoon over dressing and serve.
