1 cup chunky-style salsa
2 cups shredded deli rotisserie chicken (from 2- to 21⁄2-lb chicken)

1 medium avocado, pitted, peeled and chopped
1 1⁄2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese (6 oz)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro Lime wedges, if desired

time-saver:
When you pick up the rotisserie chicken for this recipe, get an extra one. It’s easy to keep shredding the chicken when you can do a bunch all at once. Then freeze what you’re not using now for another meal or two.
