Serves
4
1 large head of lettuce, shredded
2 large tomatoes, diced
2 large avocados, sliced into strips
1 cup Ranch Dressing
1 cup sour cream
2 1/2 cups salsa
1 lb chicken tenderloins
Pepper
1 can refried beans
48 tortilla chips
2 cup grated cheddar cheese
1 cup chopped white onions (optional)
1/2 cup sliced jalapeno peppers (optional)
Methods/steps
1 In a medium bowl, mix the Ranch dressing, sour cream, and 2 cups salsa. Put in the refrigerator.
2 Next, pepper both sides of each of the chicken tenderloins. Spray a large skillet with non-stick cooking spray. Put over medium-high and add the chicken. Cook turning until chicken is no longer pink in the middle, about 10-12 minutes.
3 While chicken is cooking, mix refried beans and 1/2 cup salsa in a medium saucepan. Heat beans over medium heat until warm, about 6-8 minutes.
4 When chicken is done put in a food processor and shred or shred with a fork and knife.
5 Get out 4 plates and spread 12 chips out on each plate. Top the chips with 1/4 of the bean mixture on each plate. Top each with 1/4 of the lettuce and 1/4 of the shredded chicken. Top each with tomatoes and avocado slices. Then top each with 1/2 cup of grated cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup onions (optional), 1 Tbsp jalapeno slices (optional). Top each with 1/2 cup of salsa and serve.

Additional Tips
  • Dice the avocados just when you prepare the salad. Though lemon juice prevents discoloration in the avocados it interferes with the dressing. Rub the minimum amount, if using at all.
  • This salad is delicious and if you want to enjoy the flavor and health benefits but reduce the calories -because you are on a weight loss diet- halve the grated cheese and avocado and try to use only 1-2 Tbs of the dressing on your portion.
