MAGGIE'S SUPER HEALTHY CILANTRO LIME CHICKEN SALAD PITA SANDWICH



Maggie's Super Healthy Cilantro Lime Chicken Salad Pita Sandwich image

I threw this together on a warm night when I didn't feel like cooking and wanted something cool and healthy but also filling. I was amazed at how low calorie this turned out and also how much I enjoyed it. I hope you do, too! You can easily substitute the pitas with tortillas to make these more like wraps, and there's plenty of flexibility to add or subtract ingredients (like maybe red onion or fresh basil for example - warmed up with a little feta cheese melted inside is not at all bad, either, I've learned). With the 4 servings, each serving will either stuff a half of a pita super full or be just enough for 1 whole pita cut in two filled not quite so full. Your choice.

Mexican Chicken Salad Sandwich/Pita image

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!

Provided by MrsKnox2016

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

12 ounces canned chicken breasts (or 1 large cooked chicken breast)
3 ounces shredded cheddar cheese
1 avocado, diced
1/2 medium onion, diced
1 cup corn (frozen or canned)
1 large roma tomato, diced and seeded
4 leaves lettuce, sliced into shreds
3 tablespoons salsa
1/2 lime
salt and pepper
2 teaspoons taco seasoning
1/2 jalapeno, seeded and diced fine
4 flat bread (or 8 bread slices)

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.

  • **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.
