Description
Southwest Chicken Wraps are a flavorful meal packed with seasoned chicken, fresh veggies, black beans, and creamy sauce, all wrapped in a soft flour tortilla.
Ingredients
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
4 large flour tortillas
1 cup lettuce, shredded
1 cup tomatoes, diced
1 cup corn, drained (canned or frozen)
½ cup black beans, rinsed and drained
½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar or jack)
½ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
¼ cup salsa
Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked and juices run clear. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it cool slightly before slicing.
- Prepare the Wraps: While the chicken is cooling, lay the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface, ready to be filled.
- Add the Fillings: Start by adding a layer of shredded lettuce on each tortilla. Follow with diced tomatoes, corn, black beans, and a generous portion of sliced chicken.
- Cheese and Sauce: Sprinkle shredded cheese over the fillings, then add a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt and a spoonful of salsa.
- Wrap It Up: Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it from the bottom to the top, ensuring all the fillings are securely wrapped inside.
- Slice and Serve: Cut each wrap in half diagonally for a visually appealing presentation. Serve immediately, or wrap in parchment paper for easy grab-and-go lunches.
Notes
Add avocado for extra creaminess.
For more spice, include chopped jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce.
For a vegetarian version, swap chicken for grilled veggies or tofu.
For a healthier option, use whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas.
