Grilled Chicken Taco Salad (credit: HENNY SHOR)


This taco salad is fresh, crunchy, and full of flavor – the kind of dinner that is fun to eat and takes hardly any effort to make. Instead of just slicing up avocado, we use a scoop of guacamole (yep, the same one from the appetizer link bellow) to bring everything together.

Words and brush: Words & Brush Recipe Corner: Crispy Tortilla Chips with Guacamole Dip

Yields 6 servings.

Chicken: 4 to 6 chicken breasts (boneless and skinless), 1 Tbsp. olive oil, 1 tsp. paprika, 1 tsp. cumin, ½ tsp. garlic powder, ½ tsp. salt, Black pepper to taste

Salad: Romaine lettuce, chopped,1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved, 2 colored peppers, chopped, 1 cup canned corn, drained, 1 cup canned black beans, rinsed,1 cup canned chickpeas, drained (optional) Tortilla chips, crushed, ½ cup guacamole (see recipe link above)

Dressing: 4 Tbsp. olive oil, 2 Tbsp. vinegar,1 Tbsp. crushed garlic, Salt and pepper to taste

Mix the spices for the chicken with olive oil to create a paste. Rub it on the chicken breasts and let them marinate for at least 15 minutes or until ready to grill. Place them on the grill (or grill pan) for six minutes per side until they’re cooked through. Set aside to cool before slicing them into strips.

In a large bowl, layer the chopped lettuce, cherry tomatoes, corn, and beans. For an Israeli touch, use canned chickpeas. Add the chicken strips, then sprinkle the top of the salad with crushed tortilla chips for extra crunch. Finish with a generous spoonful of guacamole and a drizzle of dressing, if using.

Enjoy!

July 2025 Open thread

  

  

Summer's still in full swing, and that also brings about our country's birthday and

how we celebrate is a gift to us by reflecting on the historical events that happened throughout our history.  

Keep the fun, the laughter and togetherness

Enjoying the homemade cookouts, the laughter and make sure there are enough

citronella candles to keep the flies and insects away.  

Add the sweets and cheer wherever you go

Kick back and remember the good days of a pool party

As the light fades in the west, we wait just a little longer.  On a warm summer night in the South this was the place.  Watch the whole thing, with Elvis "Dixieland" at the end.  This is the famous Laser Show.  They would shine the colored strobes to trace out the horses on the carvings.  We all know things are a bit scary, but hold true, we are moving forward.  God bless the USA.

Or some may just want a night to see the fireworks

Don't forget the red white and blue berry trifle treats.

Now an easy way to do this.  Get a sponge cake from the store, break it

into pieces, put in the glass like a parfait.  Things are in a rush these days and though a homemade treat is always the best,

this will help to make it much easier.
