Chipotle Chicken Salad
I'm leaving town in a couple of days and am trying to eat myself out of house and home. I do not want to go to the grocery store!
But I did for this dish because I had everything but the Fritos and avacado.
This is a Southwest inspired recipe and who else but an American would put Fritos on a salad! Use the Fritos! They rock this salad!
I didn't buy a rotisserie chicken-instead I baked a boneless,skinless chicken breast in foil in the oven for 25 minutes at 375. I seasoned it with salt and pepper.

This looks awesome! I love the fritos. I have a black bean salad recipe that is good, but this one looks better.
My mouth was watering once I read Fritos!
I haven't had Fritos in years so I HAD to make it ya know!
