Tips & Tricks
This dish is ideal as a salad, but it can also be used as a filling for some delicious burritos. You would only need to fill the tortillas with this salad. And if you would like to make this dish more complete you can cook chicken breast and chop it and add it to the salad. If you do this, mix it with the other ingredients and then fill the tortillas with this salad filling. Or, instead of chicken you can make tofu, beef, pork, fish, seafood...whichever you like most.
