Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large tomatoes
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 0.3333 cup mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash the tomatoes and pat them dry. Slice off the tops and scoop out the seeds and pulp using a spoon to hollow them out. Be careful not to puncture the walls of the tomatoes. Set the hollowed tomatoes aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, chipotle peppers, lime juice, green onions, cilantro, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until thoroughly combined.
Taste the chicken chipotle salad and adjust the seasonings as needed, adding more chipotle for extra heat or lime juice for extra tanginess.
Carefully spoon the chicken chipotle salad into the hollowed-out tomatoes, packing the filling gently but firmly.
Optional: Garnish the stuffed tomatoes with additional chopped cilantro or a sprinkle of chopped green onions.
Serve immediately as a light main dish or appetizer. For best results, enjoy chilled or at room temperature.
