Next, make your avocado mash: Add the avocado flesh to a small mixing bowl. Squeeze over about 1 Tablespoon fresh lime juice and season with a pinch of salt. Mash with a fork until broken down.
Slice the chicken into thin slices. Serve on top of warm corn tortillas with some avocado mash, corn salad, crumbled queso fresco and a drizzle of Yucatán mayo. Dig in!
