• Season to taste with salt, pepper and fresh lemon juice.
• Rinse scallions with cold water, chop with a knife, and stir in by hand.
• To assemble the dish, place a layer of shredded (or chopped) lettuce on each plate along with diced fresh tomatoes.

CHICKEN FLAUTAS WITH CHUNKY GUACAMOLE

Steps:

• FLAUTAS: In a bowl, combine all flauta ingredients (excluding tortillas and oil). Allow to rest about 15 minutes to marry flavors.
• Place about 2 tablespoons of chicken mixture in center of flour tortilla, and roll-up like a cigar. Secure with a toothpick.
• Continue with remaining tortillas. Keep flautas covered with a damp paper towel to prevent drying out.
• Heat enough oil in skillet to come almost halfway up sides of flautas (about 1/4 inch depth).
• Quickly fry flautas on all sides until lightly golden brown. This happens very quickly, so don't walk away.
• Drain on paper towels and serve with Chunky Guacamole.
• CHUNKY GUACAMOLE: Dice avocados into chunks and place in a medium bowl.
• Add remaining guacamole ingredients, and gently toss to combine.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
