3/4 Cup Corn

3 Oz White Corn Tortilla Chips
1/2 Cup Light Mayonnaise

2 Fl oz Lime Juice
1 Cup Fresh Cilantro
2 Tsp Suga

Directions

To a large skillet, add the olive oil and chicken; evenly sprinkle with 1 heaping tablespoon taco seasoning, and cook over medium-high heat for about 5-10 minutes, flipping intermittently so all sides cook evenly.

Cooking time will vary based on thickness of chicken breasts and sizes of pieces.

Allow chicken to rest in pan off the heat while you assemble the salad

To a large platter add the lettuce and evenly sprinkle with the tomatoes, corn, black beans, avocado, cheese, tortilla chips, and chicken; set aside

To a small bowl, add the mayo, sour cream, lime juice, 1 heaping tablespoon taco seasoning, and whisk to combine

Add the cilantro and stir to incorporate.

Add additional lime juice to thin out dressing if desired

Taste dressing and depending on how much lime juice was used, add sugar to taste.

Evenly drizzle dressing over salad.

Extra dressing will keep airtight for up to 5 days in the fridge and makes a great veggie dip.
