Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups shredded cooked chicken, room temperature
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 3 tbsp chopped pickled jalapeños, plus a splash of brine
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp kosher salt, plus more to taste
  • 1 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup fresh or thawed frozen corn kernels
  • 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
  • ½ cup finely diced red onion
  • 1 large avocado, diced
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro

Method
 

  1. Whisk mayonnaise, sour cream, pickled jalapeños with brine, lime juice, garlic powder, and salt in a large bowl until smooth.
  2. Shred the cooked chicken with two forks and set aside.
  3. Add the chicken, black beans, corn, cherry tomatoes, and red onion to the dressing. Fold gently until evenly coated.
  4. Just before serving, fold in the diced avocado and top with cilantro. Serve right away.

Notes

For the brightest result, fold in the avocado and cilantro at the very last minute. If you’re packing this for lunch, store the avocado separately and add it when you eat.
