  • 1 ripe avocado
  • ⅓ cup ranch dressing
  • 2 tablespoons chopped pickled jalapeños

  • 1 ½ cups tortilla chips
  • 1 cup canned black beans, rinsed
  • ½ cup chopped mango
  • ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ¼ cup diced red onion
  • lime wedges & crushed red pepper for serving

Directions

  1. Combine avocado, ranch dressing, jalapeños, vinegar and pepper in a food processor. Pulse until smooth.
  2. Toss kale, chicken, tortilla chips, beans, mango, cheese and onion with the avocado mixture in a large bowl. Serve with lime wedges and crushed red pepper, if desired.
