Shopping List
    For the Salad
  • 5 ounces romaine, roughly chopped (about 4 handfuls)
  • 2 small handfuls crushed tortilla chips (or taco croutons)
  • 1 boneless skinless chicken breast (or 1 avocado)
  • crumbled cotija cheese, to taste (optional, Note 2)
  • taco seasoning (store-bought or homemade), adjust to taste
  • avocado oil, for cooking For the Chipotle Caesar
  • 1/2 cup caesar dressing (store-bought or vegan homemade)
  • 1/2 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce (double for extra spicy)

Instructions
  1. Step 1: Combine the caesar dressing and chipotle with an immersion blender or small blender until the dressing is super creamy. Refrigerate.
  2. Step 2: Slice the chicken breast(s) in half horizontally to make 2 cutlets. Rub the chicken on all sides in some oil. Season generously on all sides with taco seasoning. Note: If using the avocado option, skip to Step 4.
  3. Step 3: Cook the chicken in a lightly-oiled skillet or grill until cooked through, about 3 minutes per side depending on the thickness. Set aside.
  4. Step 4: Divide the romaine and cheese onto plates and top with tortilla chips (or croutons) and sliced chicken (or avocado).
  5. Serve: Drizzle with plenty of chipotle caesar. Enjoy!

Recipe Notes

Note 1: No chicken? Substitute with 1 sliced avocado.

Note 2: Can't find cotija cheese? Try substituting with feta, parmesan cheese, or vegan parmesan.
