  • Combine lime juice, vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a large bowl; whisk in oil. Add tomatoes, zucchini, avocado, onion and jalapeño, if using; gently toss to coat. Set aside.

  • Sprinkle chicken with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper.

  • Oil the grill rack. Grill the chicken until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 165 degrees F, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Grill corn until lightly charred on all sides, 2 to 4 minutes total. Transfer to a clean cutting board. Cut the chicken into bite-size pieces; cut corn kernels from the cob.

  • Add the chicken and corn to the tomato mixture; stir in arugula, tortilla chips and cilantro and gently toss to combine.

Tips

Make Ahead Tip: Grill chicken and corn (Step 4) and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
