I specify romaine lettuce in this recipe because your greens need to be fairly sturdy to go with the substantial add-ins. I don’t think spring mix would work as well, but if you’re pressed for time then go for it. If you want to really be fancy you can make some crispy tortilla strips with leftover corn tortillas by giving them a quick fry. Or (I guess) you could just top the salad with some crumbled up corn chips. What a thought.

A Couple of Unusual Brownie Recipes
Brownies, or some kind of simple bar cookie, are a great asset to have in your recipe box. You can pull them out, whip them up, and get them to the potluck or party in reasonably short order. You probably have a simple chocolate brownie recipe that you use; these two are a little off the beaten track. I’ve always had good success with them.
