Tips and Tricks

Preparing Vegetables

Chop the bell peppers and scallions into uniform pieces to ensure an even mix. Draining the corn and rinsing the black beans well helps reduce excess liquid and sodium.

Mixing Dressing

Whisk the lime juice and corn oil together in a small bowl before adding it to the vegetable mixture. This helps ensure the dressing is evenly distributed.

Tossing Ingredients

When adding the taco seasoning, cilantro, and chicken, toss gently but thoroughly to ensure all the ingredients are well coated with the seasoning and dressing.

Adding Chicken

For best results, use cooked chicken that is still warm. This helps it absorb the flavors of the seasoning and dressing better. Grilling the chicken adds a nice smoky flavor.

Serving Suggestions

Serve this dish as a standalone salad or as a filling for tacos or burritos. It also pairs well with tortilla chips for a hearty dip.

Storing Leftovers

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. The flavors will continue to meld, making it even tastier the next day.

Customizing the Recipe

Feel free to customize this recipe by adding other ingredients like diced avocado, tomatoes, or a handful of shredded cheese. A dash of hot sauce can add a nice kick.

Freshness Tip

If preparing in advance, keep the cilantro and sour cream separate and add just before serving to maintain their freshness and texture.

Serving Size

This recipe makes a great meal prep option. Divide into individual servings and top with sour cream just before eating for a quick and healthy lunch.
