Step-by-Step Instructions for Quick Southwest Chicken Salad
- In a medium bowl, combine mayo or Greek yogurt, fresh lime juice, chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, paprika, and salt. Whisk until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, add cooked shredded chicken, drained black beans, corn, chopped fresh jalapeños, halved cherry tomatoes, chopped red onion, and pepitas. Gently toss together.
- Pour the prepared dressing over the salad mixture. Gently fold until everything is well coated, about 2 minutes.
- Let the salad sit for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy it on its own, in a sandwich, over lettuce, or in a wrap.
