Ingredients

Salad Base

Cheese

Tortilla Strips

Preparation

Prepare Chicken and Vegetables

1. Shred Chicken

Using two forks, shred the cooked chicken breast until it is in small, bite-sized pieces.

2. Dice Vegetables

Dice the tomatoes and avocado into small cubes. Rinse the black beans under cold water and drain. If using frozen corn, cook it according to package instructions.

Prepare the Tortilla Strips

3. Cut Tortillas

Cut the corn tortillas into thin strips (about 1/2 inch wide) using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.

4. Fry or Bake Tortilla Strips

In a skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Fry the strips until they are golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Alternatively, bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes until crispy.

Assemble the Salad

5. Combine Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, black beans, sweet corn, diced tomatoes, and diced avocado.

6. Add Cheese

Sprinkle the shredded Monterey Jack and cheddar cheese over the top of the salad mixture.

7. Dress the Salad

Drizzle the BBQ sauce and chipotle ranch dressing over the salad. Toss gently to combine all the ingredients.

Serve

8. Garnish and Serve

Top the salad with the crispy tortilla strips and serve immediately. Enjoy!
