Ingredients

  • 2 Pre-cooked Chicken Breasts Tip: I used a rotisserie chicken to save time.
  • 1/3 cup Mayonnaise I use a sugar free mayo made with a good quality oil: Primal Kitchen or Chosen Foods.
  • 1/2 Lime, juice Save the other half to garnish.
  • 1/2 cup Corn Kernels I used canned since corn is not in season. Fresh corn is best.
  • 1 cup Grape tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup Red Onion
  • 1 tsp Everything but the Elote Seasoning Blend Find this at Trader Joe's.
  • 1 Head of romaine lettuce or greens of choice.
  • Salt to taste. Note: the “Elote” seasoning is sweeter, adding salt will season the chicken well.
  • 1/4 cup Cilantro, garnish.

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, shred the 2 chicken breasts.
  • To the chicken, add the mayo, juice of 1/2 a lime, corn kernels, the "Elote" seasoning and salt to taste. Mix.
  • Add the red onion and tomatoes. If the chicken seems "dry", add more mayo.
  • Rinse, dry, and chop head of romaine lettuce. Add it to serving bowls.
  • Serve chicken mixture over lettuce. Garnish with cilantro and lime.
