Steps:
- For the BBQ Sauce
- Combine all of the ingredients in a small pan over medium heat. Cook for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally until flavors combine, then remove from heat.
- For the Southwest Chicken Salad
- Prepare a grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat.
- To prepare the chicken, start at the thicker end of the chicken breast and use a sharp knife to cut the chicken breast in half into two thinner cutlets. Trim any excess fat and season both sides with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Spray the grill pan with cooking spray (or oil the grill grates) and cook the chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Lower the heat to medium and brush both sides of the chicken breasts with the BBQ sauce and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on each side until the thickest part of the chicken reaches 160 degrees F. Transfer to a platter and tent with aluminum foil.
- While the chicken is cooking, cut the tortillas into thin strips. Heat the canola oil in a small pan over medium-high heat and fry the tortilla strips, stirring often, until golden and crisp. You may have to do this in batches. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with kosher salt while still hot.
- Arrange the cut romaine lettuce in a large bowl with the black beans and corn. Slice the chicken into strips and place on top of the lettuce with the tomatoes, avocado, and red onion slices. Squeeze the juice of 1 lime over the salad, then in a small bowl, mix the ranch dressing with the juice from the remaining lime. Drizzle the lime ranch dressing over the salad with the reserved BBQ sauce. Garnish with the chopped cilantro and the tortilla strips and serve.

- In a large bowl, mix together lime juice, cumin, chili powder and sea salt. Add the chicken halves and toss to cover them with marinade. Place in the fridge and marinate for 20 minutes while you prep the rest of the ingredients (I recommend prepping the avocado once the chicken is cooked to avoid browning)
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Remove visible garlic pieces from the chicken (to avoid them burning) and brown 2-3 minutes on each side. Reduce heat and continue cooking for 6-7 minutes or until chicken is cooked through (no longer pink inside) but still tender.
- Place on a cutting board, allow to cool slightly and slice (I use a tong to hold the chicken while I cut it)
- Arrange all salad ingredients (except dressing and lime wedges) in a large salad bowl or two plates, top with chicken pieces and drizzle with avocado ranch. Serve with extra lime wedges and enjoy!
