Layered Chicken Taco Salad

Lately I have been craving tacos or anything that has taco-flavored ingredients. I made this layered taco salad tonight and it was a success! As always, I like things that are super-simple to prepare and don't require a lot of ingredients that I don't normally have on hand. This recipe fit that bill perfectly and I think your family and friends will love it too!


Ingredients:
3 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
3 cups baby spinach, chopped
3 Roma tomatoes, diced
2  11-oz. cans whole kernel corn (I used the Mexican corn that has red and green bell peppers)
2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
1 packet taco seasoning
3/4 cup French salad dressing
3/4 cup salsa
2 green onions, chopped into small pieces
Tortilla chips


Sprinkle taco seasoning over shredded chicken and toss to coat.

In a trifle bowl or large glass bowl layer the following:

Half of the lettuce
Half of the spinach
1 can of corn
Half of the tomatoes
Seasoned shredded chicken
1 can of corn
Remaining tomatoes
Remaining spinach
Remaining lettuce

In a separate small bowl combine salad dressing and salsa.
Pour this mixture over the top of the layered salad. Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes.
Before serving, sprinkle chopped green onion and broken tortilla chips over top of dressing.

Enjoy!
