Methods/steps

The spicy chicken:
Cut chicken fillets into thick strips.
Mix together the olive oil, cumin and chilli powder. Add the chicken and stir so that each piece is well coated in the spicy oil.

The salad:
Stone, peel and thickly slice the avocado.
Drain and rinse beans.
Half cherry tomatoes.
Finely shred the cabbage. Put it into a large bowl and toss with the coriander and the lime zest and juice.
Stir well, add the tomatoes, avocado, beans and onion/shallot. Season with salt and pepper. Toss gently.

Heat a large non-stick frying pan. Add the chicken and stir fry about 4 minutes (the pieces must still be juicy).
Toss into the salad and serve while still hot.

Additional Tips

Try this salad with toasted bread rubbed with garlic and olive oil... heavenly.
