A Mexican twist on the standard chicken salad piled high on a croissant. Make this an even quicker meal by using a rotisserie chicken and shredding the meat instead of grilling chicken, feel free to leave the corn raw if you go that route. Adjust the amount of veggies to your liking. If you make extra or make this ahead, keep dressing separate and combine with other ingredients when ready to serve.
