Imagine a salad that’s a flavor bomb, packed with juicy chicken, crispy tortilla strips, and a zesty bean salsa. Sounds like a fiesta in your mouth, right?

Next, mix together some chili powder, cumin, coriander, brown sugar, cayenne pepper, and olive oil in a bowl until smooth. Rub this magic mixture all over your chicken breasts.
Throw those chicken breasts onto the grill and cook until they’re no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear. This should take about 10 to 12 minutes per side, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 165 degrees F.
While the chicken is cooking, place some tortillas on the grill and cook until they’re lightly brown on both sides. This should take about 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer them to a cutting board and slice them into short strips.
Slice the cooked chicken into long thin strips and place them on top of a bed of shredded lettuce in a salad bowl. Add the tortilla strips, bean salsa, some chopped cilantro, and sliced avocado.
Serve it all up with a dollop of sour cream and a squeeze of lime juice. It’s the perfect combination of Mexican flavors that’s sure to become a favorite!
