Tex-Mex Chicken Salad

Calling all chicken salad lovers!

Are you tired of the same grape-and-pecan chicken salad? Sick of eating chicken salad out of a can?

Then this recipe is for you!

It’s spicy, zippy, and has just the right amount of flavor to knock you off your feet.

It’s different, unique, and quite tasty on a tortilla (or croissant, if that’s what you fancy).

Don’t be too surprised by the ingredient list. This recipe is highly customizable. You can swap our jalapeno for more bell pepper, or add black beans instead of corn. Do whatever makes your heart happy!

This chicken salad is easy to whip together on the weekend the set in the fridge for the week. You can make lunches out of it all week long and it tastes just as good on day 4 as it does on day 1.

Enjoy!
