Method

1

Preheat oven to 400°F. Chop romaine lettuce and set aside in a large salad bowl.

2

Cut bell pepper into strips and place on a sheet pan along with corn kernels. Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil, season with salt and black pepper, and toss.

3

Roast vegetables for 20–25 minutes, stirring halfway, until peppers are charred and corn is lightly caramelized.

4

Prepare chicken: season with salt, pepper, and cumin. Grill or roast for 12–15 minutes until cooked through. Slice and set aside.

5

In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, and cumin. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

6

Toss roasted vegetables with lettuce in the salad bowl. Add drained black beans and top with sliced chicken.

7

Drizzle dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.

8

Divide salad among plates and top with queso fresco, crushed tortilla chips, and fresh cilantro.
