Cornish Hen Taco Salad
Uses: Cornish hen, kale, tomato, cucumber, picante sauce, guacamole
Ingredients:
- 3 to 4 ounces cooked Cornish hen, shredded
- 1 to 2 cups chopped kale
- 1/4 cup chopped tomato
- 1/4 cup sliced cucumber
- 1 tablespoon picante sauce
- 1 tablespoon guacamole
Instructions:
- Season the Cornish hen with a little oil, salt, pepper, cumin, paprika, and garlic powder. Cook in the oven, air fryer, or covered skillet until fully cooked and the meat is tender. Let it rest for a few minutes, so it is easier to handle.
- Remove cooked Cornish hen meat from the bone and shred it into bite-size pieces.
- Season the meat with cumin, paprika, garlic powder, and a small spoonful of picante sauce.
- Massage chopped kale with a tiny bit of oil, vinegar, or citrus juice so it softens.
- Top the kale with chicken, tomato, and cucumber.
- Add guacamole as a creamy dressing and spoon picante sauce over the top.
Good for: A fresh taco-salad style lunch that feels light but still satisfying.
Optional: Add tortilla strips by toasting and slicing part of a tortilla.
