Tortilla strips (pre-packaged or homemade)

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!
