Wrap Ingredients
- 2 large flour tortillas
- 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken breast
- 1/2 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1/2 cup corn kernels (fresh, canned, or thawed frozen)
- 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
- 1/4 cup diced red onion
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
- 1/2 cup crushed tortilla chips
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
Dressing
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
For Toasting (Optional)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare the Dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together sour cream, mayonnaise, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper until well combined to create the zesty dressing.
- Combine the Filling: In a large bowl, mix shredded chicken, black beans, corn, diced red bell pepper, diced red onion, and shredded cheese. Pour the prepared dressing over and stir thoroughly until the mixture is evenly coated.
- Warm the Tortillas: Slightly warm the flour tortillas to make them more pliable, either in a microwave for a few seconds or over a dry skillet for a minute.
- Assemble the Wraps: Divide the chicken mixture evenly between the tortillas, spreading it down the center of each. Sprinkle crushed tortilla chips and fresh cilantro (if using) over the filling.
- Roll the Wraps: Fold in the sides of each tortilla, then roll tightly from one end to the other to enclose the filling securely.
- Optional Toasting: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place each wrapped tortilla seam side down and toast for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crisp.
- Serve: Slice the wraps in half and serve immediately for best taste and texture.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken for quick preparation.
- Greek yogurt can substitute sour cream for a lighter dressing.
- For extra heat, add hot sauce or diced jalapeños to the filling.
- To keep wraps warm, wrap in foil after toasting.
