I love a good taco salad, and this Chipotle Chicken Taco Salad is by far the best one I’ve tried. In fact, this might just be my favorite chicken recipe… ever? The dressing is TO-DIE-FOR<\/strong>. I could put it on just about everything. It’s creamy with smoky chipotle and cumin, balanced by bright cilantro and lime juice.<\/p>\n The chipotle chicken taco salad is a feast of textures, from crisp lettuce to creamy avocado and sumptuous rotisserie chicken. I found this chicken recipe in an issue of Cooking Light circa 2006 and have kept it in the rotation ever since… it’s that good.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”#instructions”
