  • Author: Lauren Baker
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
– 1 cup fresh spinach or mixed greens
– 1 cup bell peppers, sliced (red, green, or yellow)
– ½ cup corn, drained (canned or frozen)
– ½ cup black beans, drained and rinsed
– 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
– ½ cup salsa
– ¼ cup ranch or Greek yogurt dressing
– 4 large flour tortillas (or whole wheat for a healthier option)
– 1 teaspoon chili powder
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Optional: avocado slices or jalapeños for added flavor


Instructions

Creating the Southwest Chicken Wrap can be simple if you follow these straightforward steps:

1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients as listed to ensure a smooth cooking process.
2. Cook Chicken: If not using pre-cooked chicken, sauté the diced chicken in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Season with chili powder, salt, and pepper.
3. Mix Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, bell peppers, corn, black beans, and ½ cup of salsa. Stir until well mixed.
4. Spread Dressing: Lay out each tortilla and spread a generous amount of ranch or Greek yogurt dressing on each one.
5. Layer All Ingredients: Evenly distribute the chicken mixture on each tortilla, making sure to leave space at the edges for easy wrapping.
6. Add Cheese and Greens: Top each wrap with shredded cheese and a handful of fresh spinach.
7. Wrap it Up: Starting from one edge, carefully roll the tortilla tightly around the filling. Tuck in the edges as you go for a secure wrap.
8. Heat Optional: If you prefer a warm wrap, place each assembled wrap back in the skillet and toast for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
9. Slice and Serve: Cut each wrap in half or quarters for easier handling and presentation.

This method ensures that every bite of the Southwest Chicken Wrap is filled with flavor and texture, keeping your taste buds satisfied!
