Ingredients:

Serving

8 taco shells
5 1/2 tbsp cooking oil
2 cups drained and rinsed kidney beans (from 1 19-oz can)
1/3 cup tomato salsa
3/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 tbsp wine vinegar
3/4 tsp dijon mustard
1/4 tsp fresh-ground black pepper
1/4 tsp chili powder
1/4 cup chopped cilantro (optional)
1 head romaine lettuce, shredded
2 large tomatoes, chopped
1 avocado , cut into thin slices
1/4 lb cheddar cheese, grated (about 1 cup)
1 roasted chicken, bones and skin removed , meat shredded (about 1 lb meat)
1/3 cup black olives , such as kalamata, halved and pitted

Directions:

Heat the oven to 350°. Put the taco shells on a baking sheet and bake them until crisp, about 8 minutes. Break each one in half.
In a medium saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over moderate heat. Add the beans, salsa, and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. Cook, mashing with a potato masher, for about 5 minutes.
In a small glass or stainless-steel bowl, whisk together the vinegar, mustard, pepper, chili powder, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add the remaining 4 1/2 tablespoons oil, whisking. Add the cilantro.
To serve, spread one side of the taco-shell halves with the refried beans and put four on each plate. Top with layers of the lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, cheese, chicken, and olives. Pour the dressing over the salads.
Wine Recommendation: The forceful flavor of cheddar cheese and the saltiness of the olives will go very nicely with a crisp and lively sauvignon blanc from California.
