Mexican Chicken Salad Sandwich/Pita
"Trying to eat healthy? Throw together this quick and flavorful cold chicken salad-with a Mexican flavor! I served this warm flat bread, folded like a taco, but this would be delicious on bread in traditional sandwich form, or even on top of some dark leafy greens with a drizzle of salsa. Healthy eating everyone!"

- 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.

This was very easy and very tasty! I will make this again. I didn't have any corn, I sub'd cream style corn. I added homemade pinto beans. And just a squirt HOT sauce. BUT, this was great and filling. The beans made it go further. My husband loved it!
