Tonight I made a Chipotle Chicken Taco Salad with my mother. It was soooo goood! I could probably eat it with every meal. Here is the recipe if anyone is interested:
Chipotle Chicken Taco Salad
Dressing:
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2/3 cup sour cream
1 tbls. minced chipotle chile, canned in adobo sauce
1 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. Chili Powder
4 tsp. fresh lime juice
1/4 tsp. salt
Salad:
4 cups shredded romaine lettuce
2 cups chopped roasted skinless, boneless chicken breasts (about two breasts)
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup diced peeled avacado
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-kernal corn, rinsed and drained
mix all of the dressing ingredients and salad ingredients together, in separate bowls. When ready to serve, drizzle dressing over salad and toss gently to coat.
My notes:
I didnt add the avocado to the salad, I put it on top so that the leftovers wouldn't get ruined by browning avocado. This is a very forgiving dish and honestly we didnt measure out anything, just kind of added until we though it was good. I think we also doubled the salad part while keeping the amount of dressing the same and I thought it was a perfect amount (I dont like a lot of dressing anyway).

according to MFP it is 435 cal. "per bowl" which its based on the Chipotle restaurant so I am assuming the bowl is fairly large.0
