Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

4 corn tortillas
Vegetable oil
Salt
2 limes, juiced
2 teaspoons Spice Mix, recipe follows
1/3 cup good olive oil
2 green onions, thinly sliced
1/2 head Romaine lettuce, shredded
1 can (15 ounce) garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup ripe cherry tomatoes, halved

Steps:

  • To make the salad, preheat an oven to 350 degrees F.

  • Meanwhile, to make the vinaigrette, stir together the lime juice and spice mix; pour in olive oil and whisk to blend. Stir in green onions.
  • To assemble the salad, put lettuce in a large bowl. Top with cooled tortilla strips, beans, cherry tomatoes, avocado, cheese, and cilantro. Add dressing and toss well.
  • To make the spice mix, stir together salt and spices in a sealable plastic bag. Store up to 1 month.

This salad was a bit too spicy for my taste. Next time, I'll use less chili powder.
