Start by finding the largest bowl that you own. Add the lettuce, tomatoes, chicken, black beans, corn, green onions, cilantro, and cheese.
Drizzle on the lime juice and Ranch Dressing. Toss to combine
If serving immediately, add in the crushed tortilla chips and avocado and gently toss together. Serve with additional chips

If you do not like your avocado chunks to get smooshed in your salad, or anyone is allergic to them like me, serve them on the side.
This salad is super fast to prepare using bagged lettuce and leftover or rotisserie chicken. I had bags of Romaine and Spring Mix in the refrigerator, so that's what I used.
Homemade Ranch Dressing, Avocado Ranch Dressing, Chipotle Ranch Dressing, and Creamy Cilantro Lime Dressing are all good choices for this salad.
I use sliced or shredded Southwest Chicken in my salads, which can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator.
I cubed the cheddar cheese to be similar in size with the vegetables, but you could also use grated if you like.
