Method

  1. Shred the chicken (if not already shredded) and place it in a large mixing bowl.

  2. Dice the small red onion and add it to the bowl with the chicken.

  3. Add the chopped cilantro, onion powder, garlic powder, and cumin to the bowl; stir until evenly distributed.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Chicken is evenly flecked with herbs and spices. Stir from the bottom of the bowl to distribute them.

  4. Squeeze the juice of two limes over the mixture and stir to combine, creating a creamy guacamole‑style dressing.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Lime juice blends into the avocado coating. Fold gently to keep the shredded chicken distinct.

  5. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, mixing once more to ensure even seasoning.

  6. Serve the salad immediately on lettuce wraps, baked corn‑tortilla tostadas, or enjoy it straight from the bowl.
