- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 large (peeled, pitted, and diced) Mango
- 1 cup (peeled and julienned) Jicama

Instructions
Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat.
Drizzle the chicken breasts with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and season with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced mango, julienned jicama, mixed salad greens, red onion slices, and chopped cilantro.
In a small bowl or jar, whisk together tequila, lime juice, honey, Dijon mustard, ground cumin, and 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil to create the vinaigrette. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Pour the tequila lime vinaigrette over the salad mixture and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
Divide the salad onto individual plates or a large serving platter, and top with the grilled chicken slices.
Serve immediately and enjoy this vibrant, flavorful dish!
