How to Make Mexican Chicken Salad Sandwiches

Chicken Salad is the perfect easy lunch recipe because you can make up a big batch and store it in the refrigerator to eat all week. You can eat it as a salad with lettuce one day, and make a sandwich the next. However you eat it, you end up with easy, delicious lunches to pack all week long.

Just mix all of your ingredients together in a bowl, then store in an airtight container. Pile it on to a croissant for a super delicious sandwich, or use a tortilla or regular bread instead. This stuff is seriously so good, you might eat it all before it ever makes it on to a piece of bread!
