Ingredients

  • 1 avocado
  • 2 cups cooked chicken such as rotisserie, shredded
  • 1/2 red bell pepper finely diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro roughly chopped
  • 2 scallions thinly sliced (or 2 tablespoons finely diced red onion)
  • Juice of one lime
  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper
  • kosher salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Mash the avocado in a medium bowl with a fork.
  2. Mix the remaining ingredients together with the avocado.
  3. Serve on whole grain bread, serve with crackers or tortilla chips, or serve on lettuce wraps or on a bed of greens for a low-carb/paleo/whole30 option.

Notes

  • For a Whole30/Paleo/low-carb meal, serve on lettuce wraps or eat plain.
  • Storage: Store in the fridge for up to 5 days in a bowl with plastic wrap pressed down on the surface, and a squeeze of extra lime juice if you want. This will help prevent the avocado from browning.
  • For a richer taste, mix a little mayo in with the avocado.
