This winter when we were in Texas we always went to eat at the same chicken place every Sunday after church. We fell in love with their salad served in a tortilla bowl. It was filled with rice, beans, lettuce, grilled chicken, pico de gallo, cilantro, sour cream, cheese, and with salsa and a lovely creamy cilantro dressing on the side. Once home I immediately made this cilantro dressing. It is a little different in taste from the restaurant but wonderful all the same. I tried to replicate the salad as I remembered it. I didn't have the tortilla bowls but served the salad with tortilla chips which was quite tasty too!
