This Mexican Grilled Chicken Cobb Salad is loaded with so much goodness! I made a super yummy homemade Avocado Cilantro Dressing to go with this for the perfect flavor combo!

There’s nothing better than a big hearty salad loaded with lots of toppings. I love a good Cobb Salad and decided to spice it up a bit with Mexican flavors. The result? So incredibly yummy!

I used my homemade Taco Seasoning to rub on the chicken before grilling it. It consists of Chili Powder, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Oregano, Cumin, Sea Salt and Pepper.

You can grill the Chicken and the Corn at the same time. Just preheat your grill to around 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Place Chicken and Corn on the grill. Turn Corn roughly every 5 minutes until it gets a nice char on the kernels.

Grill the Chicken 5-8 minutes per side or until internal temp is 165F, cook time will depend on the size of your Chicken Breasts. It’s best to have a meat thermometer on hand so you don’t under or over cook it.

Remove Chicken and Corn from the grill and let it cool for about 10 minutes. Place corn cobs over a large bowl and cut the corn off the cob with a knife. Next chop up the Chicken Breasts.

To a large platter or bowl add the Lettuce, Beans, Tomatoes, Corn, Eggs, Onions, Chicken and Tortilla Chips.

Add all of the ingredients for the Dressing to a food processor and blend until smooth. Taste and add more Salt or Pepper to your liking.

The Dressing will be on the thicker side which is how I like it. If you want it thinner, just add some water to it.

I like to make my own Tortilla Chips ahead of time to top this with. It’s super easy and honestly I think they are better than any store bought chips. Plus you get to control the amount of Salt to put on them, so less sodium!

To make these just slice up some Corn Tortillas into whatever size pieces you desire. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Place the chips on a large baking sheet and lightly spritz with Olive Oil Cooking Spray. Sprinkle with Sea Salt and bake 5-7 minutes or until they are nice and crispy.

Once they have cooled I store them in a ziplock bag until I’m ready to use them.
