Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 ½ cups corn kernels
  • 1 ½ cups black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 ½ cups chopped tomatoes
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • ½ red onion, diced

  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice

  • 2 heaping teaspoons taco seasoning
  • Salt, to taste

  1. Add romaine lettuce, chicken, corn, black beans, tomatoes, avocado, red onion, cheddar cheese, and cilantro to a large bowl. (Add tortilla chips just before serving.)
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, olive oil, honey, apple cider vinegar, garlic, lime juice, jalapeño, and taco seasoning. Season with salt to taste.
