In a medium sauté pan over medium-high heat, cook the sweet onions in 1 to 2 tablespoons of water until softened and cooked through, approximately 12 to 15 minutes.

Stir in the citrus juice, zest, and taco seasoning mix, ensuring that everything is well combined.
-
Taste the mixture and adjust the seasonings according to your preference.
-
Set the cooked chicken mixture aside to cool.

Arrange the romaine lettuce on a large platter, and then add the remaining ingredients such as mango, tomatoes, carrot, scallion, white beans, black beans, avocado, and salsa.
-
Top the salad with the cooled chicken mixture and garnish it with baked corn tortilla chips for an added crunch.

For an extra kick of heat, you can also add sliced jalapeños as a finishing touch.
