Tex-Mex Chicken Caesar Salad

If there’s one thing I never tire of, it’s a big, bold salad that eats like a meal—and this Tex-Mex Chicken caesar salad is just that. It’s my zesty spin on a classic caesar salad, and it’s got flavor for days! Think juicy rotisserie chicken, creamy avocado, crisp romaine, and creamy monterey jack cheese all tossed together in a smoky, spicy chipotle dressing topped with crunchy tortilla chips.

This salad is the perfect summer weeknight dinner when you want something satisfying but don’t want to turn on the oven. You can keep it simple or take it in a few different directions. Swap in grilled shrimp or steak for the chicken, or add extras like black beans, roasted corn, or pickled onions to make it your own. It’s endlessly flexible—just keep the chipotle caesar at the center, and everything else can shift depending on what you’ve got in the fridge.

Pile it into bowls, top with a few more chips and a squeeze of lime, and watch it disappear!
