  • Author: Leo
  • Total Time: 0 hours

Ingredients

– 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 4 large flour tortillas
– 1 cup shredded lettuce
– 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
– ½ cup black beans, rinsed and drained
– ½ cup corn (canned or frozen)
– ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
– ¼ cup diced red onion
– ¼ cup cilantro, chopped
– ½ cup ranch dressing or Southwest dressing


Instructions

Creating a Southwest Chicken Wrap is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Prep the Chicken: Begin by trimming any excess fat from the chicken breasts. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
2. Season the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, coat the chicken with olive oil, taco seasoning, salt, and pepper.
3. Cook the Chicken: In a grill pan or skillet, heat over medium-high heat. Cook the seasoned chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
4. Let It Rest: Remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
5. Prep the Tortillas: While the chicken rests, warm the flour tortillas in a dry pan for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
6. Assemble the Wrap: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Start with a layer of shredded lettuce, followed by a scoop of cherry tomatoes, black beans, corn, diced chicken, cheese, red onion, and chopped cilantro.
7. Add Dressing: Drizzle your choice of ranch or Southwest dressing over the ingredients.
8. Wrap It Up: Fold in the sides and tightly roll the tortilla from the bottom to the top, securing all the delicious fillings inside.
9. Slice for Serving: Cut the wrap in half diagonally for easy eating.
10. Enjoy: Serve your Southwest Chicken Wrap with additional dressing on the side if desired.

These steps will guide you in crafting a delightful wrap, ensuring you enjoy every bite.
