3 Tbsp lime juice + 4 lime wedges for garnish
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 ¼ tsp ground cumin
¼ tsp kosher salt
3 med tomatoes, chopped

½ avocado, peeled, pitted, and chopped

Recipe



1. Put chicken into large zip-top plastic bag.

2. In small bowl, whisk lime juice, oil, cumin, and salt. Transfer 2 tablespoons of lime marinade to medium glass bowl for the salsa, and cover with plastic wrap. Pour remaining marinade over chicken and squeeze bag to coat. Let chicken marinate in refrigerator at least 1 hour.

4. While chicken cooks, add tomatoes, avocado, onion, cilantro, and pepper to bowl with reserved marinade. Gently toss to mix, and season to taste with salt.

5. To serve, place chicken onto 4 plates and top each with ¾ cup salsa. Garnish with lime wedges and cilantro sprigs.
