Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 cup Sweet corn kernels
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
• 6 cups Mixed salad greens
• 0.5 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 large Avocado, sliced
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 large Lime, juiced
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 0.5 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup Tortilla chips, crushed

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix the chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, olive oil, ground cumin, and garlic powder to create a marinade.

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure each piece is well-coated. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes.

Step 3

Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and juices run clear. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 4

In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, black beans, sweet corn, cherry tomatoes, and red onion.

Step 5

Add the sliced chicken on top of the salad mixture.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the lime juice with the sour cream to make the dressing. Drizzle it over the salad.

Step 7

Top with avocado slices, shredded cheddar cheese, fresh cilantro, and a handful of crushed tortilla chips.

Step 8

Toss the salad gently to combine all ingredients and serve immediately.
