Tex-Mex Cobb Salad

 

Cobb salad gets a little Tex-Mex flavor added. The chicken is seasoned with a Tex-Mex spice blend and some beans and corn have been added. This salad is filling enough for a dinner. The Fritos on top add the perfect delicious crunch. 

You can use any salad dressing you prefer, my family enjoyed ranch with this salad.
