Steps:
- Combine chicken strips and fajita marinade in a large bowl. Let marinate in the refrigerator, 1 hour to overnight.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
- Combine oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Clean heads of romaine lettuce; cut in half from end to end. Brush halved romaine lettuce with oil-garlic mixture.
- Add sliced peppers and onions to the oil-garlic mixture. Toss to combine.
- Arrange the romaine cut-side down on the oiled grill. Cook just until grill marks appear, about 2 minutes. Remove and set aside to cool.
- If you have a grill basket, spread marinated chicken evenly in the basket; otherwise, thread chicken and vegetables on skewers. Grill chicken for 5 minutes. Turn the chicken in the basket, add the vegetables, and grill until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the chicken reaches 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 10 minutes more.
- Slice grilled lettuce and place on serving plates. Divide chicken and vegetables evenly over the grilled romaine lettuce.

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:
- Pulse 3/4 cup of the cilantro, the scallion whites, chipotles, chili powder, lime juice, 2 teaspoons of the salt, and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a mini-food processor to make a smooth paste. Coat the steak with the paste. Toss the peppers and onion with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Toast the cumin seeds in a small dry skillet over medium-high heat, about 1 minute. Mix seeds with the cabbage, remaining scallion greens, and remaining 1/4 cup cilantro in a large bowl. Set aside.
- Set a rack 6-inch from the broiler heating element and preheat the broiler. Preheat a broiler pan for about 10 minutes.
- Carefully pull the preheated pan from the broiler, set the steak in the center of the pan, and surround (but do not cover) with the peppers and onion. Return to the broiler. Cook until the meat feels firm but still gives gently when pressed, about 12 minutes for medium rare. Remove steak to a platter and let rest about 10 minutes before slicing. Toss the vegetables, and continue broiling until they soften and char, another 6 to 8 minutes.
- Dress slaw with orange juice and zest, lime zest, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 tablespoon oil.
- Slice the steak, against the grain, into very thin slices. Arrange on a platter with the peppers and onions. Serve with the slaw.
