Fan-freaking-tastic. Nuff said.
Ingredients:
2 cups diced rotisserie chicken
1 green pepper, diced
1 cup black beans
1 cup sweet yellow corn {canned or frozen and defrosted}
2 roma tomatoes, diced
4 scallions, washed, sliced, and diced {white and green parts}
1 large romaine heart (or 2 small hearts), washed and chopped
1/2 bunch cilantro, washed and chopped {optional} (I purchased cilantro and had every intention of using it, but forgot to add to the salad. I love cilantro, but I didn't even miss it!)
2 just under ripe avocados, diced
2 cups crushed tortilla chips (I used Tostitos Artisan Brand Three Cheese flavor. Use them too. Yum.)
for the dressing:
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 tablespoon ranch seasoning
1/2 tablespoon taco seasoning
1/2 tablespoon lime juice (I didn't have a lime on hand, so I used a lemon. I used an ENTIRE lemon. My suggestion is whichever citrus you choose, use all of it. It gives the dressing a thinner consistency.)
salt & pepper, to taste

Directions:
In a large bowl, stir all salad ingredients together, excluding the tortilla chips and avocado. In a small bowl, stir all dressing ingredients together until smooth. When ready to serve, toss salad with dressing then gently stir in avocado and tortilla chips. Serves 4. (*Check seasoning before serving. I sprinkled my salad with a little bit of salt and pepper after adding the avocado.)
