Introduction

I came up with this recipe while playing around in my kitchen. It makes a really yummy taco or wrap filling, but is also good on sandwiches or over salad. It's my go-to summer food, because it's quick to make and it has the same texture as "real" chicken salad, but with a bit of a kick!

Feel free to use spicier salsa or to add in your own favorite seasonings. I came up with this recipe while playing around in my kitchen.
