Southwest Chicken Wraps

A flavorful journey with succulent chicken, black beans, corn, and fresh veggies wrapped in a tortilla, perfect for casual gatherings or weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cooked chicken breasts, shredded
  • 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup corn, canned or frozen
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1 cup mixed greens or lettuce
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or queso fresco)
  • 4 large tortillas or wraps
  • 1/4 cup ranch dressing or salsa
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: In a large bowl, shred your cooked chicken breasts using two forks. Season with salt and pepper and toss in with a tablespoon of salsa or ranch dressing for added flavor.
  2. Mix in the Goodies: Add the drained black beans, corn, diced red pepper, and a pinch of salt to the bowl with the chicken. Mix thoroughly to combine the ingredients.
  3. Assemble the Wrap: Lay out your tortillas on a clean surface. Place a generous scoop of the chicken mixture in the center of each tortilla. Layer on a few slices of avocado, a handful of mixed greens or lettuce, and a sprinkle of cheese.
  4. Rolling It Up: Fold in the sides first, then roll from the bottom upwards to create a neat little parcel. Tuck as you roll to keep everything in place!
  5. Finish with a Toast: If desired, place the wraps seam-side down in a skillet over medium heat. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.

Notes

These wraps can be made ahead of time. Store in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Consider using a toothpick to secure wraps while serving.
