Steps:
- Prepare all vegetables.
- Dice chicken (I usually cook the chicken while I am preparing the vegetables, then I dice it while it's warm).
- In a large bowl, mix all ingredients together.
- Let it sit for a few minutes. (The warmth of the chicken will heat the salad and help the flavors to marry quickly. You can let this sit for about 10 mins or put it in the fridge overnight.).
- Stir to redistribute the ingredients.
- Serve with tortillas (avocado & sour cream go well too.).
