Mexican Caesar Salad

"Did you know Caesar Salad is actually from Mexico originally?! So the story goes, an Italian immigrant who ran restaurants in Mexico was serving up this salad when the kitchen's ingredient supply was running low. The result: a simple, easy, and well loved salad by many. However, I set out to take that simple salad up a notch with this Mexican Caesar. How to give a Caesar Salad a Mexican twist: add tortilla strips instead of croutons, added vegetables for flavor, marinated and juicy pollo asada! This Mexican Caesar Salad combines a variety of flavors that I wouldn’t usually pair together but it blew my mind how great it was."
