Tips

  • You can use rotisserie chicken to make things easier.
  • The sauce will be on the thicker side; you can add 2 tbsp water or more lime juice as preferred.
  • Serve chilled, wrapped in lettuce, or piled onto your favorite low-carb bread or sourdough.
  • This keeps well in the fridge for 3-4 days for meal prep.
