Ingredients

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
1 cup corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)
1 avocado, diced
Tortilla strips (pre-packaged or homemade)
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions
Cook the Chicken: If you haven’t already, cook your chicken. You can grill, bake, or sauté it—each method adds its own charm. Just season it with a little salt, pepper, and a hint of taco seasoning for that glorious flavor.
Chop the Veggies: While the chicken cools, chop your romaine lettuce, tomatoes, onion, and avocado. Just be careful with that knife—no need for an accidental salad emergency!
Mix It Up: In a large bowl, combine the lettuce, chicken, tomatoes, corn, cheese, onion, avocado, and cilantro. This is where the magic begins—get in there and toss everything together gently.
Dress It Up: Drizzle olive oil and lime juice over the delightful mix, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss again to ensure every ingredient has made a delicious acquaintance.
Serve & Garnish: Divide the salad into serving bowls and top with crispy tortilla strips. Add your garnishes—c’mon, you know you love a little pizzazz!
