Tips and Tricks

Perfectly Crispy Tortilla Chips

For even crispier tortilla chips, arrange them in a single layer on the baking sheet, making sure they don’t overlap. Halfway through baking, flip the chips to ensure both sides are evenly golden and crisp.

Shredding the Chicken

For quick and easy shredding, use two forks to pull apart the cooked chicken breasts while they are still warm. Alternatively, you can use a stand mixer with a paddle attachment on low speed to shred the chicken in seconds.

Adding Extra Flavor

To add more flavor to the chicken, season it with a bit of cumin, garlic powder, and salt before cooking. This will infuse the chicken with a deeper, more robust flavor that complements the other salad ingredients.

Customizing the Salad

Feel free to customize the salad by adding other ingredients like black beans, corn, avocado, or olives. These additions can enhance the flavor and make the salad more filling and nutritious.

Spicing Up the Dressing

Adjust the heat of the dressing to your liking by adding more or less hot pepper sauce. If you prefer a milder flavor, you can also use a mild salsa or skip the hot pepper sauce altogether.

Keeping Lettuce Fresh

To keep the shredded romaine lettuce crisp and fresh, store it in a bowl with a paper towel on top, then cover it with plastic wrap and keep it in the refrigerator until you’re ready to assemble the salads. The paper towel will absorb excess moisture and help maintain the lettuce’s crispness.

Serving Suggestions

Serve the salad immediately after assembling to enjoy the crunchy tortilla chips and fresh ingredients. For a complete meal, pair it with a side of rice or beans.

Storing Leftovers

If you have leftover salad components, store the tortilla chips, lettuce, chicken, and dressing separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator. This will prevent the chips from becoming soggy and the lettuce from wilting. Reassemble the salad just before serving.
