3/4 cup barbecue sauce
1/4 cup red wine vinegar

Steps:

  • To make the dressing, in a blender, blend together the barbecue sauce, vinegar, olive oil, avocado and chipotle for 1 to 2 minutes or until creamy. Reserve dressing in refrigerator until ready to use.
  • To make the tortillas, preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Slice the tortillas into thin strips and spray them with the olive oil. Place the tortilla strips on a baking sheet and bake in the oven for 4 to 5 minutes, or until crispy.
  • To assemble the salad, in a mixing bowl, toss the greens with the dressing. Place a portion of the salad greens on each plate. Place 1 julienned chicken breast on top of each salad. Then spoon some of the salsa on top of salad. Finally, sprinkle each salad with the crispy tortillas.

Tips:

  • To save time, use frozen scallops that have been thawed in the refrigerator overnight.
  • If you don't have tequila, you can substitute another type of clear liquor, such as vodka or gin.
  • To make the dressing more spicy, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.

  • Serve the scallops immediately, while they are still warm.
