Chipotle Chicken Taco Salad

Dressing:
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2/3   cup   light sour cream
1/3   tablespoon   minced chipotle chile, canned in adobo sauce
1   teaspoon   adobo sauce
1-2   teaspoon   ground cumin
1   teaspoon   chili powder
4   teaspoons   fresh lime juice
1/2   teaspoon   salt
Salad:
4   cups   shredded romaine lettuce
2   cups   chopped roasted skinless, boneless chicken breasts cubed
1   cup   cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2   cup   diced peeled avocado
1/2   cup   thinly vertically sliced red onion
1   15-ounce   can black beans, rinsed and drained
1   15-ounce   can no-salt-added whole-kernel corn, rinsed and drained
To prepare dressing, combine first 8 ingredients, stirring well; set aside.

To prepare salad, combine lettuce and remaining ingredients in a large bowl.  Drizzle dressing over salad, toss gently to coat.  Serve immediately.  Yield:  4 servings (serving size: 2-1/2 cups).

Note:  I used H-E-B's frozen cooked chicken breasts and it tasted great.  I also had to work with the dressing a bit to make sure that it was spicy enough...  I added some chipotle chile powder, garlic salt, and more cumin.
