Instructions
- Pre-heat a grill on medium high heat.
- Sprinkle the chicken breast with the cumin, chile powder and salt.
- Put the chicken, corn, red pepper and poblano pepper on the grill. They will all cook simultaneously, but need different grilling times.
- Grill the corn until it is tender, about 10 minutes. Turn it frequently so all sides are browned and cooked.
- Grill the two peppers for about 15 minutes, turning every 2 minutes or so until the skin is slightly blackened.
- Grill the chicken for about 15 minutes, turning once, until it reaches 160 F internal temperature.
- As each ingredient finished cooking take it off the grill and set it aside to cool slightly.
- To make the Avocado Lime dressing first juice the two limes.
- Then combine the lime juice, cilantro, chile powder, cumin, avocado and olive oil in a blender or food processor and mix well.
- Once the chicken, peppers and corn are cool enough to handle chop the chicken into small pieces. Then chop the peppers, peeling off the blackened skin if desired. Cut the kernels off the corn cobs.
- Put the chicken, peppers and corn in a large bowl. Add the drained black beans and stir to mix.
- Pour the dressing over the grilled chicken salad and stir.
- Serve garnished with more cilantro and the other half of the avocado.
