2-3 tbsp No Fat Refried Beans
Iceberg Lettuce, shredded
2 tbsp Cheddar Cheese, shredded
2 tbsp Black Olives, sliced
2/3 cup Salsa Verde Chicken, plus extra sauce
1/4 Avocado, sliced
Salt and Pepper, to taste
1 tsp Ranch dressing(optional)
Cholula Hot Sauce, to taste (optional)

To make the salsa verde chicken:
Combine cooked chicken with a jar (about 12oz.) of salsa verde. Simmer for about an hour on the stovetop, or on low in a crockpot.
To assemble the salad:
Heat the beans on the stovetop or microwave. Line the bottom of a bowl with 2-3 tbsp of the warm beans. Top the beans with the lettuce, then the chicken(adding 1/4 cup sauce with the chicken), then add olives, cheese and avocado. Salt and pepper to taste. Add hot sauce and ranch, if using.

This is a homemade version of my favorite dish at El Toro Mexican restaurant. Mexican food is my all time favorite comfort food, but unfortunately, that means I have no ‘off’ button while I’m eating it! So when I discovered this salad I was super excited. The iceberg lettuce gives that crunch you’re looking for, and you still get to enjoy that super yummy salsa verde(AND a little bit of cheese, beans, and avocado). Think of how many calories you’re saving by cutting out the chips, guacamole, sour cream, and cheese smothered tortillas!
When I received a jar of homemade salsa verde, I knew I had to do something with it or else I’d sit down and eat the whole jar with like, a thousand chips. At the restaurant, I use the green salsa verde as a dressing. So I thought, why not cook chicken with the salsa and make topopo salad!?
The salad is also good with a dash of Cholula hot sauce, and a teaspoon of ranch. The beans make the salad creamy, so a teaspoon is all you need…really. Enjoy!
