Grilled Chicken Taco Salad

I made this for dinner last night and it was so yummy!  It looks and tastes like an expensive restaurant salad and really it's quite easy - just a lot of chopping.  :)

Grilled Chicken Taco Salad

Chicken:
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut in half lengthwise (so you have 2 thin pieces)
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper

Dressing:

Your favorite ranch dressing

Your favorite salsa

Salad:
1 head lettuce, roughly chopped (I used a combination of red leaf & romaine)
1 large tomato chopped
1 avocado, diced
1/2 C black beans, rinsed & drained
1/2 C frozen corn, thawed
1 C queso fresco cheese, crumbled
Tortilla chips, broken into bite size pieces

Preheat grill.  Combine spices (cumin through pepper) in a small bowl; mix well.  Coat each side of chicken with seasoning.  Grill chicken until internal temperature is 165 and chicken is no longer pink.  Allow chicken to rest for a few minutes then slice each breast.

Combine ranch dressing with salsa to taste; set aside.

Fill each plate with lettuce, top with one sliced chicken breast, tomato, avocado, black beans, corn, cheese and tortilla chips.  Serve with salsa ranch dressing on the side.
