For best results

• For best flavor, marinate the chicken overnight.
• Use ripe but firm avocados so they hold their shape when diced.
• Store components separately in meal prep containers to keep avocado from browning.

Variations

• Add black beans or corn for extra fiber and texture.
• Swap chicken for grilled shrimp or tofu.
• Use a zesty cilantro-lime dressing instead of the marinade as a topping.
