BBQ Chicken Salad

We had this for dinner tonight. It was a nice change from regular taco salad. I even made the crispy tortilla strips...so easy and really yummy!  They really added to the salad. This recipe is a keeper for us. I am typing the way I made it here as I did change some things, but for the original recipe go to  The Sister's Cafe.


1 can Costco chunk chicken, drained and rinsed
3/4 c. bbq sauce
1 head lettuce, chopped (can use any type of lettuce)

1 can corn, drained and rinsed

1 can black beans, drained and rinsed

1 bunch green onions, chopped

1/2 bunch cilantro, chopped

Roma tomatoes, diced..however much you want

guacomole

shredded cheese, Mexican blend or cheddar

crispy tortilla strips (see recipe below)

Stir shredded chicken in with the BBQ sauce until well coated. Of course you can use less or more sauce, it's up to you!  Toss together the lettuce, cilantro, corn, beans, and chopped veggies. Top with shredded chicken, cheese and crispy tortilla strips. Drizzle ranch or cilantro lime dressing over salad and enjoy!

*to make crispy tortilla strips simply slice about 10 corn tortillas in narrow strips and place on cookie sheet. Spray with vegetable oil cooking spray and sprinkle generously with salt. Place under the broiler and let bake until crispy and brown around the edges.
