This spicy riff on the traditional Caesar salad is a fun addition to a Mexican-themed dinner. You can control the amount of heat by adding more or less of the chipotle chile. The dressing can be made a few days ahead, but the croutons are best hot out of the frying pan. To turn this salad into a full meal, top it with grilled shrimp or broiled salmon.
