Steps:
- For the fajita mix: Mix the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, sugar, salt, red pepper flakes and black pepper in a bowl.
- For the salad: Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat and brush with olive oil.
- Sprinkle a third of the fajita mix over one side of the chicken breasts. Place the chicken seasoned-side down on the grill and sprinkle another third of the fajita mix over the top of the chicken. Grill the chicken until cooked through, about 5 minutes per side; this will depend on the size of the breasts. Remove the chicken to a baking sheet to cool.
- While the chicken is cooling, add 2 tablespoons olive oil and the remaining fajita mix to a large mixing bowl and whisk together. Add the peppers and toss to coat. Place the peppers on the grill and cook, turning to get good grill marks, about 3 minutes per side. Remove to the baking sheet to cool.
- Brush the corn with the last 2 tablespoons olive oil. Arrange the corn on the grill and cook, turning frequently, until cooked and brown, about 10 minutes total. Remove to a plate to cool.
- Slice the chicken crosswise but keep the slices together. Slice the avocado crosswise, keeping the slices together like the chicken. Squeeze a bit of lime juice over top to prevent the slices from browning.
- For the cilantro lime dressing: Add the olive oil, cilantro, lime zest and juice, salt and chili flakes to a mason jar and shake until emulsified.
- For the assembly: Arrange the lettuce leaves on a large board or platter. Cluster the chicken breast slices, avocado slices and peppers among the leaves. Tuck in the corn cobs here and there and do the same with the sprigs of cilantro. It should look more free-form than composed. Add the tomatoes, limes halves and chunks of cheese in the same way. Drizzle a bit of dressing over the salad to give it a hint of flavor and serve the rest on the side.

Steps:
- Rub together the chicken and fajita seasoning until coated. If your seasoning doesn't have a lot of salt, you may want to sprinkle a little bit of salt onto your chicken.
- In a large 12 inch skillet, heat oil. Once hot, add the chicken in a single layer (if using thighs, make sure they are laid out flat). Cook until brown, about 3-4 minutes.
- Flip then cook until brown and middle is no longer pink and reaches internal temperature of 165F, about another 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a plate or bowl and keep warm.
- In the same skillet, add the onion, bell pepper, and a big pinch of salt, scraping up any brown bits left behind. Cook until softened and starts to brown, about 8-10 minutes.There should be enough oil and seasoning leftover from the chicken, but if not add more.
- Add any juices accumulated from the chicken to the vegetables then slice chicken thigh against the grain (cut perpendicular to the lines you see in the meat).
- In a large serving bowl, add the lettuce, avocado, tomatoes, cilantro, cooked vegetables, sliced chicken, and lime juice. Serve with desired amount of ranch dressing.
