Place salad on big plate and surround with corn tortilla strips. Sprinkle cheese over salad. Sprinkle corn on salad.
To blacken chicken or shrimp, heat up a castiron skillet and add one teaspoon vegetable oil for each chicken breast or portion of shrimp. Dust chicken or shrimp thoroughly with blackening spice.
