This salad is a great way to use up leftover chicken or steak. It's also a great make-ahead meal.

This salad is a bit spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I'll use less chili powder.

I'm not a huge fan of cilantro, so I omitted it from the recipe. The salad was still delicious.
