- 1 cup (130g) black beans
- Handful (100g) cherry tomatoes, sliced in half

Instructions
- If you are cooking your chicken, take 1 pound raw chicken breast and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of chicken taco seasoning. Rub into chicken gently. Lightly spray with cooking spray and air fry for 15 minutes at 400 degrees or until chicken in cooked through. (You can also bake chicken in the oven at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes).
- While chicken is cooking, chop and wash your romaine lettuce. Spin in a salad spinner until dry.
- To roast the corn, you'll place a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Once pan is hot, add in the frozen corn and cook on a single layer for 2 minutes. Stir corn and continue to cook until you start to smell a roasted corn smell and corn is lightly charred. Set aside.
- Wash and chop the bell pepper and cherry tomatoes. Slice the avocado into chunks.
- To assemble salad, add romaine lettuce to a large bowl. Add in the black beans, roasted corn, bell peppers, avocado, tomatoes and cheese. If using for meal prep, portion into containers. If serving immediately, add in the cooked chicken and toss with dressing.
