Chicken taco salad recipe

I had to take a few bites first, to... make sure it wasn't poison.

We had two corn tortillas left. What can you do with two corn tortillas? Make tortilla strips. I cut them into thin strips with scissors and deep fried them. It really only takes about 30 seconds. Much longer than that and they turn brown.

Jeremy mistakenly believes that he told me he didn't want salad. So we'll just pretend that he did not use some of these components to make a sandwich instead, leaving me with too much lettuce and dressing.

4 cups of lettuce, torn into bite size pieces
4 oz chicken breast
1 t chili powder
2 corn tortillas, cut into thin strips
1/2 cup oil
Juice of one lime
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 t chili garlic sauce
2 oz shredded cheese

Rub chicken breast with chili powder and grill or saute until cooked through. Set it aside to cool/rest. Heat up oil in a deep fryer or a small saucepan on high heat. Add tortilla strips and fry for about 30 seconds until crisp. Remove from oil promptly and place on a paper towel to soak up excess oil. Season with a dash of salt, if you want. Whisk together mayonnaise, lime juice, and chili garlic sauce in a bowl. Shred chicken into bite size pieces. Combine lettuce, chicken, cheese, tortilla strips and dressing in a large bowl and toss together. Your welcome. Nutrition info is for 1/2 of the recipe.
