Instructions

Baked Tortilla Strips
    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 375° F. and line a baking sheet with foil. Spray the foil with cooking spray. Cut the tortillas into approximately 1/2 inch strips. Then cut the strips in half so they aren't as long.
  2. Place the tortilla strips on the baking sheet and spray the tops with cooking oil. Sprinkle with salt and toss them together until coated.
  3. Spread the strips into a single layer and bake for about 6 minutes. Remove them from the oven and flip them over. Bake another 5-6 minutes or until golden and crispy.
Greek Yogurt Ranch Dressing
  1. Add all of the dressing ingredients to a jar. Screw on the lid and shake until well combined. Taste for seasoning and add salt and pepper as needed.
Barbecue Chicken Salad
  1. Add the romaine to a serving bowl of platter. Toss the shredded chicken together with the barbecue sauce until coated and place it on top of the lettuce. Arrange the black beans, corn, tomatoes, avocado, cilantro, baked tortilla strips, and red onion on top of the lettuce.
  2. Serve the salad with the ranch dressing on the side or drizzled on top of the salad.
