Texas Bean Salsa:
1 (15.5 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 (15.5 ounce) can black-eyed peas, rinsed and drained
1 (15.5 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
1 small red onion, chopped
1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
1 (4.5 ounce) can diced green chilies, drained
2 ripe tomatoes, diced and drained
1 cup Italian-style salad dressing
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
Chicken:
6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
3 limes, juiced
1/3 cup tequila
3 teaspoons paprika
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper
6 Romaine lettuce leaves
6 sprigs cilantro leaves, for garnish (optional)
6 lime wedges, for garnish (optional)

1
To make the salsa, mix the black beans, black-eyed peas, corn, red onion, bell pepper, chiles, and tomatoes together in a bowl. Toss vegetables with the Italian dressing, cilantro, garlic, and garlic salt until evenly blended. Cover, and refrigerate 6 hours or overnight.
2
Preheat a grill for medium-high heat.
3
About 45 minutes before serving time, place the chicken breasts in a baking dish and drizzle with lime juice and tequila. Sprinkle evenly with paprika, salt, and pepper. Cover the dish, refrigerate, and allow to marinate 10 minutes.
4
Remove chicken breasts from the marinade, and discard remaining marinade.
5
Cook the chicken breasts on the preheated grill until the juices run clear and the meat is no longer pink, 10 to 12 minutes.
6
To serve, place a lettuce leaf on each plate. Top with a chicken breast, and spoon Texas Bean Salsa over each, dividing evenly among servings. If desired, garnish with additional cilantro leaves and lime wedges.
