Steps:
- For the chicken: Generously sprinkle both sides of the breasts with the taco seasoning. Heat the oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken on both sides until deep golden brown on the outside and done in the middle (or to an internal temperature of 165 degrees F), about 4 minutes per side. Set aside to cool for 5 minutes.
- For the dressing: While the chicken is cooking, pour the ranch dressing into a bowl. Add the salsa and cilantro and stir to combine.
- For the salad: Next, place the ears of corn in the skillet you used to cook the chicken and roll them around so that the flavorful oil/butter mixture coats the corn. Grill on a grill pan or cook in a separate skillet until the corn is still crisp but has color on the outside. Slice off the kernels with a sharp knife and set aside. Dice the chicken into cubes.
- On a platter, layer the shredded lettuce, diced chicken, tomatoes, cheese, corn, avocados, green onions, cilantro and crushed chips. Drizzle the dressing all over the top, saving some to serve on the side if you'd like. Serve the salad in individual bowls.

Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and light green and white scallions and quickly saute, taking care not to burn the garlic, for 2 minutes. Stir in the green chiles and chili powder and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the roasted veggies, black beans, spinach and corn. Season with salt and pepper and add the salsa. Increase the heat to medium-high and let cook until the spinach and corn thaw and the sauce gently simmers, 10 to 12 minutes. Add 1/4 cup water if necessary, to thin out the sauce.
- Top with the cheese, then cover and let cook until the cheese is fully melted, about 3 minutes. Top with the scallion greens and any other optional garnish. Serve from the skillet with the tortillas.
LETTUCE LEAF TACOS
For those on a low-carb kick that love Mexican but dread all the beans and bread, try this alternative for taco night. It uses lettuce leaves instead of taco shells to make a dish that's halfway between a lettuce wrap and a taco. Low on carbs and still delicious!

TACO SALAD (LIGHT AND HEALTHY)
I love taco salad, but it can be very high in fat and salt. Use the leanest ground beef you can find. Combining the beef with water keeps the crumbles nice and small as it cooks. This is also delicious substituting lean ground turkey for the beef. Reduce or increase jalepeno and cayenne to suit your taste.
