Preparation

Step 1

While the rotisserie chicken is still warm; remove both light and dark meat and shred into a large bowl.

To the chicken add; finely diced celery, sliced green onions, red onion, diced peppers and chopped cilantro.

In a small bowl combine the minced chipotles, the adobo sauce, mayo, lime juice, kosher salt and black pepper. Stir to combine and taste to check for seasoning.

Pour the chipotle-lime-mayo over the shredded chicken and vegetables and toss to coat evenly.

Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Serve on a flour tortilla with lettuce and more torn cilantro if desired. For a fun twist, crush tortillas on top too!
