The best thing about this salad is that you can personalize it to your own taste. Alasdair likes things a bit spicy so he adds diced hot peppers and wing sauce to his salad. I usually top mine off with some mild salsa so as not to aggravate my heartburn! If you don't have a rotisserie chicke on hand, you can substitute any leftover shredded chicken. I made this salad using the leftover slow-cooker enchilada chicken from my tostada recipe, and it was amazing!

Ingredients
  • 2 medium-sized tortillas
  • 2 cups rotisserie chicken, shredded
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 cups lettuce (Romaine lettuce is good but I've also used a mix of butter lettuce and arugula)
  • 2 cups refried beans (check out my recipe for Easy Refried Beans or you can use canned refried beans)
  • 1 green pepper, sliced into strips
  • ½ large onion, vertically sliced
  • ½ cup cherry tomatoes, sliced
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • Optional toppings: Salsa, shredded cheddar cheese, wing sauce, diced jalapenos
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray each tortilla front and back with cooking spray. Lightly season with salt and pepper. Cut tortilla in strips then bake for 8-10 or until crisp and lightly browned.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add peppers and onions and saute for five minutes. Add chicken, saute for one minutes. Stir in garlic powder, salt and chili powder. Turn heat down and simmer for five minutes. Warm the refried beans in the microwave.
  3. Build your salad: Put one cup lettuce on a plate. Add ½ cup refried beans and ½ chicken mixture. Top with tomatoes and sliced avocado. Add 4-5 tortilla strips, broken up into pieces.
  4. Top with salsa, cheese, wing sauce and/or jalapenos, if desired.
