## Instruction

### Prepare marinade
|
||
|
||
- Whisk together the enchilada sauce lime juice, and sea salt in a large bowl.
|
||
- Add the chicken thighs and poke a few holes in them with a fork so the marinade can penetrate.
|
||
- Cover and let this sit in the fridge for at least 3 hours but up to 24.
|
||
|
||
### Prepare salad
|
||
|
||
- To prepare the salad, start by rinsing and draining the beans. Add them to a big bowl.
|
||
- Cut the ends off of the bell peppers and dice them.
|
||
- Remove the seeds and pith from the jalapeno and finely dice.
|
||
- keep some if you want it to have some kick
|
||
- Mince the red onion
|
||
- Cut the cheese into small cubes
|
||
- Finely mince the cilantro.
|
||
- Slice the tomatoes in half.
|
||
- Cube the avocados.
|
||
- Add the beans, bell peppers, jalapenos, red onion, cheese, cilantro, tomato, and avocado to a big bowl.
|
||
|
||
### Make Dressing
|
||
|
||
- Mix the following ingredients together in container
|
||
- 2oz of enchilada sauce
|
||
- lime juice
|
||
- avocado oil
|
||
- rice vinegar
|
||
- mustard
|
||

This can be stored in a container and stored.
|
||
|

### Cook Chicken
|
||
|
||
- Preheat the grill while you work on the dressing. If you don’t have a grill you can make this in a grill pan or cast iron.
|
||
- Oil your grill or cast iron with a high-smoke point oil, and cook the chicken until browned on each side and cooked fully through, about 8 minutes on one side and 7 minutes on the other, on medium-high heat.
|
||
- Let the chicken rest for at least 10 minutes, then chop it into bite-sized pieces.
|
||
- Add the chicken to the salad. Cover completely in the dressing and toss well.
