- Pat dry chicken thighs or breasts. Combine with olive oil and taco seasoning. Heat skillet over medium-high, add chicken. Cook for 5 minutes until golden, flip, and cook for another 4-5 minutes until cooked through. Set aside to cool slightly, then slice.
- In a blender, combine avocado oil, red wine vinegar, honey, chipotle chili pepper, minced garlic, dried oregano, and ground cumin. Blend until smooth, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
- In a large salad bowl, layer shredded cabbage, black beans, frozen corn, diced bell pepper, and cubed avocado. Top with crumbled Cotija cheese and cilantro.
- Drizzle vinaigrette over salad and gently toss all ingredients until well coated. Add tortilla chips for crunch if desired.
- Serve immediately or store in the fridge for meal prep, keeping avocado separate until serving.
