Tex-Mex Chicken Salad
This meal-in-a-bowl is basically like eating tacos without the shell (although we do like to serve this with corn chips). It's a snap to put together and you can also use the meat filling in a burrito or as a topping for a baked potato, if you like.

Directions
Heat a large skillet to medium-high. Add oil, chicken bell pepper and onions and sauté until chicken's juices run clear and onions are beginning to brown on the edges, about 7-8 minutes. Add tomato, garlic, chili powder, cumin and oregano and cook for one minute more. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
To assemble the salad, place greens in a large serving bowl and spoon meat filling onto the greens. Add a handful of corn chips on the side. Serve and enjoy!
