Chopped rotisserie chicken makes an easy salad filling, and if you're doing the vegetarian version, extra beans and tomatoes give this a southwest feel.

Prep
Rotisserie chicken - {May already be done from Monday's dinner} Take meat off the bone and shred. Use knife and fork or just hands. (Can be done up to 3 days ahead)
Make vinaigrette - Place everything but oil into a blender (you can also use the cup that came with your immersion blender). Blend until smooth. Then slowly drizzle in oil while blending. Season to taste with salt and pepper (or more adobo sauce). (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)
Green onions / Red peppers / Romaine lettuce - Prep as directed. (Can be done up to 3 days ahead)
Warm chicken in a microwave or in the oven for 15 minutes at 200F (93C) degrees if you want to serve it warm-ish in the salad. Divide salad ingredients (romaine, peppers, green onions, rotisserie chicken, avocado) onto plates or bowls. Drizzle with vinaigrette.
