This is one of my favorite salads! I add the chicken, and also quite often a layer of corn.Di_Can_Cook said:
the salsa is combined with the sour cream, and is used as a salad dressing - so it isn't combined with the tomatoes. They are 2 separate layers.
The layers (without chicken) are:
Beans
lettuce
Pepper
tomatoes
green onions
salsa/sour cream
cheese
