This is a meal salad. This recipe requires pre-made items, and recommends it for it for chicken too.
Time varies on pre-prepped items. the tortilla strips time is not included since I pre-made them.
Tortilla strips - I take blue tortillas (whites good too, i use blue for color contrast). Place tortilla strips. brush top or tortilla strip of spiced oil mix (1/2-2/3 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup chili powder, 2 Tbs cumin and cayenne, each, 2 tsp salt). stack one on top of another, up to 5. Cut into 1/4 inch by 1 inch pieces (roughly) and spread out on a baking sheet one next to another. bake at 325 for 10-12 minutes, or until crunchy all the way through.
Take two large chicken breasts and either grill or put them into the oven and cook thoroughly. Add a small amount of cayenne pepper and crack black pepper for taste if desired. for this recipe, it is not required and personally do not do this. after its cooked, let it cool off a little bit. when able to handle it, remove skin and chop the chicken, removing fatty parts in the process. place chicken aside.
In a large bowl, mix the lettuce and spinach together
Place red pepper on smallest stove top directly and place it on lowest heat. turn when each side starts to blacken. When all sides are slightly blacken, take it off and chop, discarding seeds and white insides.
while pepper roasts, take the corn and start prepping (depending on what type, it might need to prep earlier). Strain so that corn is left, and place near salad.
In a small sauce pan, place beans in boil, stirring intermittently. take it off heat, strain it and rinse it in water in the strainer
Place corn, pepper, beans, and tortilla strips with greens, then add BBQ sauce. toss so that sauce spreads throughout. I personally like to add wanton strips, but that's just me.
Now take the salad mix and place the servings according to preference. spread chopped chicken accordingly, then avocado, and then top it with cilantro garnish. serve.
