Tasty Southwest Chicken Wrap (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Chicken Marinade
01 -
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
02 -
2 tablespoons olive oil
03 -
1 tablespoon taco seasoning
04 -
1/2 teaspoon salt
05 -
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
→ Wrap Base
06 -
4 large flour tortillas (burrito-size)
07 -
1 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
→ Fillings
08 -
1 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
09 -
1 cup canned corn kernels, drained
10 -
1 large tomato, diced
11 -
1 ripe avocado, sliced
12 -
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
→ Sauce & Toppings
13 -
1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
14 -
1/4 cup salsa (your preferred heat level)
# Instructions:
01 -
Mix the olive oil, taco seasoning, salt and pepper in a bowl. Coat the chicken breasts thoroughly with this mixture, making sure to cover all sides.
02 -
Heat up your skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temp should hit 165°F). Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into strips.
03 -
Lay each tortilla flat on your work surface. Spread about a tablespoon of sour cream and a tablespoon of salsa in the center, leaving some room around the edges.
04 -
Start with a sprinkle of cheese (it helps everything stick together), then add some chicken strips, black beans, corn, diced tomato, avocado slices, and finish with a pinch of fresh cilantro.
05 -
Fold in both sides of the tortilla, then roll from the bottom up while keeping everything tucked in tightly. Think of wrapping a burrito! Repeat for all four wraps.
06 -
Cut each wrap in half diagonally and serve right away. Feel free to add some extra salsa or guacamole on the side for dipping.
# Notes:
01 -
These wraps are perfect for meal prep! Just keep the components separate and assemble right before eating to prevent soggy tortillas.
02 -
For a spicier kick, try adding sliced jalapeños or a drizzle of your favorite hot sauce.
03 -
Make it vegetarian by swapping the chicken for extra black beans or some grilled vegetables.
04 -
Want it creamier? Add a drizzle of chipotle mayo or ranch dressing for an extra flavor boost.
