Welcome to Chef Al's kitchen. Today we're making a Baja chicken salad.

Show the ingredients: shredded lettuce, charred corn, diced tomatoes, diced avocado, baked chicken with Cajun seasoning, spinach tortilla chips, bacon, Mexican cheese, and cilantro.

Cook the corn on the barbecue until charred.

Mix together salsa, sour cream, and mayonnaise to create the dressing.

Add about 2 tablespoons of chopped cilantro to the shredded lettuce and mix well with the dressing.

Start building the salad by placing the mixed lettuce in a tortilla shell.

Add the baked Cajun chicken in the center of the salad.

On one side, place diced tomatoes in a line.

On the other side, place diced avocado.

Add crumbled bacon on one side of the salad.

Sprinkle charred corn on both sides of the salad.

Sprinkle Mexican cheese over the top of the salad.

Crumble spinach tortilla chips on top for crunch.

Garnish with fresh basil on top before serving.
