1️⃣ Prepare the Chicken:
Season the chicken breast with chipotle chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Grill or pan-sear until fully cooked. Once slightly cooled, slice or shred the chicken.
2️⃣ Make the Dressing:
In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lime juice, chipotle chili powder or adobo sauce, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and black pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
3️⃣ Assemble the Salad:
In a large salad bowl, add the romaine lettuce or mixed greens as the base. Layer the roasted corn, black beans, cherry tomatoes, diced red bell pepper, avocado slices, and shredded cheese on top. Arrange the chipotle-seasoned chicken over the salad.
4️⃣ Add the Dressing:
Drizzle the creamy chipotle dressing over the salad or serve it on the side for individual portions.
5️⃣ Garnish and Serve:
Top the salad with crispy tortilla strips for added crunch. Garnish with fresh cilantro or lime wedges if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
