Mexican Chicken Salad Sandwich/Pita image

Steps:

  • Run your knife through the chicken breast to break up the larger chunks. Place this mixture in a large bowl.
  • Add cheese, onion, corn (thawed, but not heated), tomato, salsa and jalapeño.
  • Drizzle avocado with juice of 1/2 lime, then add avocado to the bowl.
  • Add 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper and 2 tsp taco seasoning to the bowl, then toss to mix well.
  • Assemble your meal by warming a piece of flat bread, then adding a layer of lettuce shreds before topping with 1/4 mixture. Fold and enjoy taco-style.
  • **These are pretty large, filling serving sizes. If I was serving this with other dishes, I would probably estimate this would serving 5 or 6, depending on how hungry you are.
