Grilled Chicken Taco Salad
We love Grilled Chicken Taco Salad. It is easy to make and uses lots of fresh ingredients. For this recipe, I grilled the chicken with taco seasoning and roasted some sweet corn and onions, too. Pile it high over blue corn chips and romaine lettuce, and top it with salsa, shredded cheese, and sour cream and you have a winner!
This is the perfect summer salad, full of fresh flavors off the grill. Blue corn chips are at the foundation of this salad, then comes a layer of crunchy lettuce, and top it with grilled chicken, charred corn,onions and peppers. Finish the salad with shredded cheese, cool sour cream and spicy salsa for a summer salad you won’t be able to resist!

How to make Grilled Chicken Taco Salad?
- Heat your outdoor grill to 350 degrees. Put foil on the grill to prevent chicken from burning and add some canola oil. Put the chicken breast on the foil and sprinkle taco seasoning over the chicken. Pour a bit more oil on top and grill with lid closed for about 10 minutes.
- After 10 minutes, turn the chicken, sprinkle with more taco seasoning and drizzle with a bit more oil. Add the corn, onions and peppers. Sprinkle salt on the veggies.
- Grill all for another 10 minutes until chicken is no longer pink and veggies are soft.
- Remove the chicken and veggies from the grill. Cut the chicken into strips. Place a handful of blue corn chips on each plate. I made 4 servings with this recipe. Top the chips with chopped romaine lettuce.
- Top each salad with roasted corn, peppers and onions, and strips of chicken. Serve the salad warm with sour cream, shredded cheeses, and salsa.
