Recipe View Place chicken breasts on the preheated grill. Cook until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 10 to 12 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). While the chicken is cooking, place tortillas directly on the grill and grill until lightly browned and slightly crispy on both sides, about 3 to 5 minutes. (25 minutes)

Recipe View Remove tortillas from the grill and transfer to a cutting board. Slice into short, thin strips. Set aside. Once the chicken is cool enough to handle, slice it into long, thin strips. (10 minutes)

Recipe View In a large salad bowl, arrange the shredded lettuce. Top with grilled chicken strips, tortilla strips, bean salsa, remaining 1/4 cup cilantro, and avocado slices. Serve immediately with a dollop of sour cream and lime wedges on the side for squeezing. (5 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, marinate the chicken in the spice rub for at least 30 minutes before grilling.
Feel free to customize the salad with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, or pickled onions.
If you don't have an outdoor grill, you can cook the chicken in a grill pan on the stovetop or bake it in the oven at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 20-25 minutes.
To prevent the avocado from browning, toss it with a little lime juice before adding it to the salad.
Make it a vegetarian dish: Replace the chicken with grilled halloumi cheese or seasoned tofu for a delicious vegetarian option.
