SANTA FE CHICKEN SALAD

Where I used to live, there was a restaurant that made a wonderful salad with most of these ingredients. This is an embellished fusion version of it. If the chimichurri is made with cilantro, all the better!

Ingredients

2 c chopped romaine lettuce
4 oz grilled chicken breast or rotisserie chicken
1/4 c black beans, canned
2 Tbsp frozen corn, thawed
1 Tbsp red onion, minced
4 cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 small avocado, diced
2 Tbsp cotija cheese, crumbled
1-2 tsp sour cream, lite or regular
1-2 tsp lime juice
1 Tbsp chimichurri sauce
crispy tortilla strips, or crumbled tortilla chips for garnish

Steps:

1. Line large plate with romaine. Slice or shred chicken and place on lettuce.
2. Distribute beans, onions, corn, tomatoes and avocado over chicken. Sprinkle cotija cheese over top.
3. Thin sour cream with lime juice so it's pourable. Zig-zag sour cream across salad. Zig-zag chimichurri sauce across salad in opposite direction. Garnish with crispy tortilla strips.
