southwest salad
Tortilla strip bowl
A southwest salad is a composed salad featuring ingredients associated with the cuisine of the American Southwest and Mexico.
The base is typically romaine lettuce topped with black beans, corn, tomatoes, shredded cheese, and strips of grilled chicken.
Dressings are usually creamy and spiced—ranch with chipotle or a cilantro-lime variation.
Tortilla strips or chips add crunch.
I'll have the southwest salad with extra avocado.
