Prepare the Chili Lime Chicken 🍗: In a small bowl, mix together the lime juice, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and honey (if using). Rub the chicken breasts with the olive oil and the chili lime marinade. Let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 1 hour for more flavor. Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Once done, remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips. 2. Make the Tortilla Strips 🌮: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush both sides of the tortillas with olive oil and sprinkle with chili powder, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt. Stack the tortillas and cut them into thin strips. Spread the strips in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden and crispy, flipping halfway through. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning. 3. Assemble the Salad 🥗: In a large bowl, toss the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, avocado, red onion, corn, and black beans (if using). Drizzle with the lime dressing (recipe below) and toss gently to combine. 4. Make the Dressing 🥄: In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, honey, Dijon mustard (if using), chili powder, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more lime juice for tang or honey for sweetness. 5. Assemble the Bowl 🍽️: Divide the salad mixture into individual bowls. Top with sliced chili lime chicken and a generous handful of crispy tortilla strips. Drizzle with extra dressing, if desired, and garnish with fresh cilantro or lime wedges for an extra burst of flavor! 🌿🍋 Tips: For extra protein, add a handful of black beans or grilled shrimp. 🍤 If you like it extra spicy, sprinkle some red pepper flakes on top or use spicy chili powder. The tortilla strips can also be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container for a few days.
