Tex Mex Chicken Salad

Tex Mex Chicken Salad is the perfect combination of all your favorite Tex Mex flavors in a yummy satisfying salad.

We’ve enjoyed a few sunny and warmer days here in the Northwest.  Now warmer for us is 60 degrees.  A little sunshine and warmer temperatures always puts me in the mood for a good salad for dinner.

Today’s salad is a recipe I got from my sister in law.  It has been in my pile of recipes for years and I have hung on to because I knew it was a good one since it came from my sister in law! I finally decided to put it to the test this week when I needed a quick and easy dinner. I was right, it is a good one.

Salad Ingredients

• Lettuce. Use a combination of romaine and spring mix lettuce.
• Black Beans
• Tomatoes
• Avocados
• Cheese
• Tortilla Strips
• Chicken. I like to quickly cook my chicken breast in the microwave using this method. You can also use your Instant Pot to make perfect shredded chicken. 

Tex Mex Salad Dressing

This Tex Mex salad has a yummy home made dressing that is made with a taco seasoning mix so the salad tastes just like a traditional taco salad but instead of hamburger this one has chicken.  

How to Make Tex Mex Chicken Salad

• Combine dressing ingredients.
• In a bowl, add all salad ingredients except tortilla strips.
• Dress and toss with dressing.
• Garnish with tortilla strips.
