Chipotle Grilled Chicken Salad

This is what we had for dinner last night (minus the tomatoes and onions)... SOOO delicious ad easy!!!


Chipotle Chicken Taco Salad (from Our Best Bites)
SALAD:
4 c. chopped Romaine Lettuce
2 c. chopped grilled chicken
1 c. cherry or grape tomatoes, washed
1/3 c. vertically-sliced red onions
1 avocado, cubed
1 15-oz. can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 8 3/4 oz. can corn, rinsed and drained

DRESSING:
1/3 c. chopped fresh cilantro
2/3 c. light sour cream
1 1/2 + tsp. adobo sauce from canned chipotle chilies (we used sriracha chili sauce and it was delicious!!)
1 tsp. chili powder
4 tsp. fresh lime juice
¼ tsp. salt
OPTIONAL:

~Combine lettuce, chicken, beans, corn, onion, and tomatoes in a large bowl and gently mix with your hands (which you have obviously and thoroughly washed, of course! :) ). Set aside.
~Mix dressing ingredients. I say to start with 1 1/2 tsp. of adobo sauce and then go from there, probably 1/4-1/2 tsp. at a time.
~When you’re ready to serve, add avocado, tortilla strips, and dressing. Gently combine and serve.
Voila!!  Delicious, fresh, quick to make salad dinner! :-)
