Tex Mex Chicken Salad

This is one of my all time favorite summer dishes. I started making this chicken salad when I was on Weigh Watchers. It so easy to make and you can serve it as a sandwich, a salad, or as an appetizer in chip cups! All you need is sour cream or Greek yogurt, mayo, cumin, chili powder, black beans, corn, scallions, chicken, and I like to add a can of tomatoes with green chilies. If you buy the precooked frozen chicken already cut into cubes you just have to microwave it and add it to the beans, corn, tomatoes and scallions. I mixed equal parts sour cream and mayo with the spices (use as much or as little as you want) in a sepreat ramekin before adding the sauce to the chicken mixture. That's it. SO easy. It's great as a wrap or just as a chicken salad. You can see I didn't add any corn. I made this while we were on Phase one of our South Beach diet.

To make this as an appetizer I would dice the chicken before adding it to the mixture, or even use shredded chicken that I had pre-roasted and froze in 1 cup measurement baggies. Then just scoop the salad into Tortilla Chip cups and you are good to go.

Cheers
