Chicken Taco Salad with Tortilla Strips
Makes 1 serving

INGREDIENTS
170 g Chicken breast (Weighed raw. The same piece weighed after cooking has lost water, so the protein per gram is higher and the total would come out about a quarter over.)
1 tsp, about 6 g Chipotle paste
100 g Romaine lettuce
100 g Black beans, tinned and drained (Drained weight.)
60 g Sweetcorn, tinned and drained (Drained weight.)
100 g Cherry tomatoes
50 g Avocado (A third of one. At 190 kcal per 100 g it is where most of the fat is. Flesh only. Half a medium avocado is about 70 g.)
1 small, about 30 g Corn tortilla
6 g Olive oil
Juice of a lime Lime juice
Half a teaspoon Ground cumin
A handful Fresh coriander

METHOD
1. Cut the tortilla into thin strips, spread them on a tray and bake at 190°C for eight minutes until crisp. No oil; they crisp on their own.
2. Rub the chicken with the chipotle, cumin and salt and griddle it on a hot dry pan for five to six minutes a side. Rest and slice.
3. Whisk the oil and lime with a pinch of salt and toss the romaine, beans, sweetcorn and halved tomatoes in it.
4. Lay the chicken over, dice the avocado on top and finish with the tortilla strips and coriander.

Check ingredient packaging for allergen information.
Some corn tortillas are blended with wheat flour. Check the packet.

RECIPE NOTES
A taco salad served in a fried tortilla bowl can pass 800 kcal before the dressing. The bowl is the problem. One corn tortilla cut into strips and baked is 66 kcal and does the same job.
The beans and corn are the carbohydrate, 48 g in all, and the reason it is a lunch rather than a side.
