NOTES

• You can grill the chicken if you prefer. Season it, then grill it, then cube it after.

LAZY VERISION

• Use rotisserie chicken instead of making your own chicken.

• Use pre chopped veggies and lettuce.

KID FRIENDLY VERSION

• Before you combine everything together, take some components out to serve separately to you kid.

SUBSTITUTIONS

• You can add in other veggies and toppings! Avocado, sliced tomatoes, black olives, and cilantro would all be great additions.

• Sub for corn: more black beans or omit

• Sub for black beans: pinto beans, more corn or omit

STORAGE

• Allow everything to come to room temp and then store in airtight containers, like these.

• Store the dressing separately- I like using these containers.

REHEATING

• No reheating needed for this lunch!

REDUCE FOOD WASTE

• Leftover romaine lettuce? Use it in a salad or as a taco topping this week or next! Store wrapped in a paper towel in a ziploc bag to keep it fresh.

• Leftover onion? Save it! Put it in a ziploc, or better yet, buy one of these reusable onion saver things. Use the rest of the onion for another recipe later this week or next.

• Leftover beans and corn? Freeze them! Just add to a ziploc freezer bag, press the air out, and freeze. Add them to a future soup, chili, or when you make this dish again. Or if you have kids, my girls love eating beans and corn mixed together! Try it!
