A twist on Mex-Tex Salad

What a fun idea. Here is a yummy and quite easy summer recipe.


Cafe Rio Chicken
1 small bottle or Kraft Zesty Italian Dressing
1 T chili powder
1 T cumin
3 cloves garlic
5 lbs chicken breasts *This makes a lot - I usually half it.

Salad
Romain lettuce
Roma tomatoes
Cotija Cheese
tortilla strips (I've only found these at Albertsons hanging above their bagged lettuce.)

Dressing
1 buttermilk ranch salad dressing (make as per recipe)
2 tomatillos * depending on how spicy you want it, I add only 1 tomatillo and 1/4 bunch cilantro
1/2 bunch cilantro
1 clove of garlic
1 lime juiced
jalapeno

Use a food processor to blend all together

*serves 20

Taste very similar to costa vida salads.
