Recipe Summary The Cheesecake Factory&Reg; Santa Fe Salad

A Southwestern tangy salad that happens to be my absolute favorite.

Ingredients | Fried Macaroni And Cheese Cheesecake Factory Calories

4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts

½ cup teriyaki marinade

¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro

2 tablespoons peanut butter

1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

1 tablespoon lime juice

1 tablespoon brown sugar

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1 teaspoon lime zest

½ cup olive oil

1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

3 (5 inch) corn tortillas, cut into strips

2 teaspoons olive oil, or to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 (16 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained

1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed

1 head romaine lettuce, chopped

1 ½ cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Directions

Combine chicken breasts and teriyaki marinade in a large resealable plastic bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

Combine cilantro, peanut butter, red wine vinegar, lime juice, brown sugar, garlic, sesame oil, and lime zest in a food processor; blend well. Pour in 1/2 cup olive oil slowly and blend until dressing is smooth. Add pepper; blend again.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread corn tortilla strips on a baking sheet; drizzle 2 teaspoons olive oil on top.

Bake in the preheated oven until crispy, 5 to 10 minutes.

Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chicken breasts; cook until browned, 7 to 10 minutes per side. Cool until easily handled, about 5 minutes. Slice into thin strips.

Toss corn, black beans, and romaine lettuce together in a large bowl. Top with Monterey Jack cheese, chicken, and tortilla strips. Pour dressing over salad.

I've used Perdue(R) Short Cuts(R) Southwestern-style chicken strips and crumbled tortilla chips, and it was just as good.
