Ingredients
- 4 cups Shredded cooked chicken
- 1 rib Celery diced
- 2 Green Onions chopped
- ¼ cup diced Red Onion
- ¼ cup chopped Fresh Cilantro
- 1 Chipotle Pepper in Adobo sauce minced
- 2 teaspoons Adobo Sauce
- ¾ cup Mayo
- 1 tablespoon Lime Juice about half a lime
- Salt and Fresh Ground Pepper to taste
- 3 Avocados
Instructions

- In smaller bowl add wet ingredients and seasonings and combine thoroughly.
- Pour mayo mixture over shredded chicken mixture and toss to evenly coat.

Notes
Avocados brown quickly so I don't recommend cutting them any earlier than necessary. Rubbing any extra lime juice over already cut avocados will help prevent browning.
