A few years ago my husband and I lived in Palm Springs.  Our first week there we went to a restaurant called Hamburger Hamlet (which is all over LA), where I had their Santa Fe Chicken Salad.  I thought it was so good that I went home and made it myself.  I've made a coupe adjustments of the years.

- Hearts of romaine (or any lettuce you choose)
 - Corn (canned, fresh, or frozen)
 - Black beans (I also have used kidney beans)
 - Tomato, chopped
 - Cucumber, chopped
 - Cheese (I prefer crumbled Queso Fresco, but you could also use shredded Monterey or Pepper Jack)
 - fresh cilantro (optional)
 - tortilla strips or crumbled tortilla chips (optional)
 - Sliced red onion (optional)
 - boneless, skinless chicken breasts (we've also used baked tofu)
 - BBQ sauce
 - Ranch dressing
 
Place chicken in skillet. Coat with bbq sauce (or marinade chicken ahead of time in sauce).  Heat on med-high until chicken is cooked through.  Toss desired ingredients together, top with ranch dressing, mix and enjoy!
