I’m a sucker for the restaurant-style meal salads and this one is one of my favourite incarnations. You can make it as spicy as you want and there’s little to no chance of being glutenized with this one.

I usually like to use red onions, but this version was for the kids and I - hence the more tame yellow onions.

Recipe

2-3 BLSL thighs
Red onions
Liberal helping of Tex-Mex Taco Seasoning
Doritos – I prefer the Jalapeno & Cheddar variety
Pepper Jack cheese
Tomatoes
Bacon bits
Romaine lettuce

  1. Cook your cubed thighs with the julienned red onions and seasoning
  2. Layer Romaine, crushed chips, shredded cheese, chicken, diced tomatoes and bacon bits

If you’re like me, you go really heavy on the cheese with potentially two layers. And if you’re adventurous, you could add avocado slices. As for salad dressings, you could do Ranch or Kraft has a Sun-Dried Tomato and Oregano salad dressing that is really good.
