1
Cook the Chicken
Season the chicken breasts with blackening spice and cook in a skillet over medium-high heat until cooked through and charred on the outside, about 6-7 minutes per side. Let them rest before slicing.
2
Prepare the Salad Base
In a large salad bowl, combine the romaine lettuce and mixed greens. Toss well to mix.
3
Add Veggies
Add the diced tomato, sliced avocado, and thinly sliced red onion to the greens. Gently toss to combine.
4
Top with Chicken and Cheese
Slice the blackened chicken and arrange it on top of the salad. Sprinkle the crumbled Cotija cheese and tortilla crisps over the top.
5
Add Cilantro and Serve
Finish with chopped cilantro. Drizzle with cilantro lime vinaigrette just before serving.
