• Cooked chicken breast, shredded - 200 grams
• Black beans, canned - 1/2 cup (120 grams), rinsed and drained

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Set aside to marinate for about 10 minutes.
2. While the chicken is marinating, prepare the toppings: dice the avocado, tomato, and finely chop the red onion and cilantro.
