Chicken chipotle taco salad- easy & good!
Hi everyone, Had to share this recipe I found on AOL.
I grilled thin chicken cutlets on the George Forman grill and cut them into strips and followed the rest of this recipe. It was a hit- hope you enjoy it
Also I served it with baked pita chips on top of the salad - it hit the spot.
Chipotle Chicken Taco Salad
The creamy dressing mellows the heat from the chiles. Add a spoonful of adobo sauce for a spicier salad. Kidney or pinto beans also taste great in this dish. Total time: 34 minutes.
Dressing: 1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro 2/3 cup light sour cream 1 tablespoon minced chipotle chile, canned in adobo sauce 1 teaspoon ground cumin 1 teaspoon chili powder 4 teaspoons fresh lime juice 1/4 teaspoon salt
Salad: 4 cups shredded romaine lettuce 2 cups chopped roasted skinless, boneless chicken breasts (about 2 breasts) 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved 1/2 cup diced peeled avocado 1/3 cup thinly vertically sliced red onion 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained 1 (8 3/4-ounce) can no-salt-added whole-kernel corn, rinsed and drained
To prepare dressing, combine first 7 ingredients, stirring well. To prepare salad, combine lettuce and remaining ingredients in a large bowl. Drizzle dressing over salad; toss gently to coat. Serve immediately.
Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 2 1/2 cups)
