Salad Base

Chicken

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a bowl, mix olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Coat the chicken breasts in this mixture. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken breasts for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Remove from grill and let rest before slicing.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Salad Ingredients

    While the chicken is grilling, chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Dice the avocado and set aside. Prepare the pico de gallo, black beans, and roasted corn.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Combine Salad Ingredients

    In a large salad bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, pico de gallo, black beans, roasted corn, and diced avocado.

  2. 5

    Add Chicken and Dressing

    Slice the grilled chicken and place it on top of the salad. Drizzle with chipotle ranch dressing and toss gently to combine.

  3. 6

    Top with Cheese and Tortilla Strips

    Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the salad and top with tortilla strips for added crunch.
