Tex Mex Cobb Salad

Take your Cobb salad to the next level with cubes of pepper jack cheese, black beans, corn, and a bbq ranch dressing!

Cobb salads are probably my second favorite kind of salad behind Caesar salad. I love having bacon and hard-boiled eggs as a source of protein. I also loved that this salad went the Tex Mex route and there was pepper jack cheese and corn chips. The BBQ ranch dressing also surprised me quite a bit. All-in-all, this was a well-rounded salad and it's perfect for Taco Tuesdays!
