When looking for a refreshing choice for lunch or dinner, the Southwest Avocado Chicken Salad will appear on your plate. Sweet bell peppers and lime skin flavors are a delicious new way to enjoy old food.
Southwest Avocado Salad Low Carbohydrate Chicken, Ketone, THM S, Gluten Free, Wheat Free, Milk Free, Paleo
I'm leftovers from lunch. I rarely cook for me. Neither remains or as simple as Turkish agricultural grinders. But this does not mean that I am always happy with the choice in the refrigerator. I often change leftovers to new things. Grilled chicken turns into chicken salad, taco turns into red pepper, and grilled chicken turns into nacho.
I made this recipe last summer and can't remember whether it was a weekend lunch or a weekday dinner, but my husband and I like this avocado filled with southwest chicken salad. They are super stuffing and the best service is with a garden salad on the side.

Notes
Notes for Specific Dietary Concerns:
*** KETO - The corn and black beans really give this chicken salad a southwestern flair. Each serving is only 7 net carbs including them. But if you are doing very low carb or keto you can omit them. Omitting the corn and black beans will reduce each stuffed avocado to 4 net carbs.
*** THM - this amount of black beans and corn is fine for an S recipe. You can have up to 1/4 cup beans in an S and the corn is really a garnish amount.
*** PALEO - just omit the beans and corn and use an approved mayo.
