Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (around 2 breasts or use rotisserie chicken)
- 4 ears of corn, grilled and kernels removed (frozen corn works too)
- 1 red bell pepper, diced (yellow or green can be substituted)
- 1 avocado, diced (or replace with sliced olives)
- 1 cup crumbled cotija cheese (feta works in a pinch)
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro (optional)
- 1 tablespoon chili powder (adjust for spice level)
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- Juice of 2 limes
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Grill corn for flavor or roast at 400°F wrapped in foil for 30 minutes. Let cool, then cut off kernels and set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix the corn, shredded chicken, diced bell pepper, avocado, cotija cheese, and cilantro. Feel free to tweak ingredients to your taste.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together chili powder, cumin, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Pour over the chicken mixture and toss to coat evenly.
- Serve immediately or chill in the fridge for up to 3 days. Great for meal prep!
Notes
Add jalapeños for extra heat, or serve in lettuce cups for a low-carb twist. Always use fresh lime and herbs for best flavor.
