Tex-Mex Chicken Salad

Scott Phillips

Yield:Yields about 1-3/4 cups

Serve this salad rolled up in a tortilla for a lunch or dinner wrap (it makes enough for 2 to 3 wraps, but can easily be doubled if you have more leftover chicken) or on tortilla chips for an appetizer or snack. You can easily substitute any leftover roast chicken or a store-bought rostisserie bird.

    This was super easy to make. I used leftover rotisserie chicken from Costco. It was flavorful and fun to eat. I think it would be even better if the chicken was seasoned like some of the other reviewers did. Great weeknight meal.

    我的家人对这个配方2大拇指。这是非常easy and simple to make. The only different ingredient that I used was grilled lemon pepper chicken instead of the beer brined chicken. I used it as a dip & for sandwiches!! Excellent party dip!!

    I decided to make this and use it as a dip with homemade tortilla chips for a party. It turned out great! I doubled the recipe, and adjusted everything to taste. It needed a little extra dressing, jalepenos (deseeded so it wouldnt overwhelm anyone) and I added a lot more (4 ears total) roasted corn... It was delicious. Next time I may take the advice of the other reviewer and marinade the chicken a bit in advance. It was a big hit. We are still enjoying what's left!
