Southwest Chicken Wrap Recipe

This delicious and easy-to-make wrap is packed with flavor and texture.

Ingredients:

• For the Chicken:
  • 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (or canola oil)
  • 2-3 tablespoons taco seasoning (depending on your preference)
• For the Wrap Filling:
  • 1 cup cooked black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup frozen corn, thawed and drained (optional: sauted with butter for extra flavor)
  • 1/2 cup chopped red onion
  • 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 jalapeno, seeded and diced (optional for a spicy kick)
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese (or your preferred cheese)
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing or creamy cilantro lime dressing (optional)
  • 4 large flour tortillas (or wraps)
• For the Southwest Sauce:
  • 1/2 cup salsa (your preferred level of spiciness)
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
• Toppings:
  • Shredded lettuce
  • Chopped tomatoes
  • 1 cup crushed Fritos (or any type of tortilla chips)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken:
   • Cut each chicken breast in half lengthwise to create thin cutlets.
   • (Optional) Place the cutlets between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound them with a meat mallet to ensure even thickness and faster cooking.
   • Drizzle the chicken cutlets with olive oil and season generously with taco seasoning.
   • Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight for deeper flavor.
2. Cook the Chicken:
   • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and the juices run clear.
   • Remove from heat and let cool slightly before chopping into bite-sized pieces.
3. Make the Southwest Sauce:
   • In a small bowl, whisk together salsa, sour cream, and taco seasoning.
4. Assemble the Wraps:
   • Spread a thin layer of ranch dressing or cilantro lime dressing (if using) on each tortilla.
   • Layer with chopped chicken, black beans, corn (if using), red onion, green pepper, cilantro, jalapeno (if using), avocado, and shredded cheese.
5. Wrap it Up:
   • Fold the bottom edge of the tortilla over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll the tortilla tightly to enclose the filling. Secure with a toothpick if desired.
6. Serve and Enjoy:
   • Cut the wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately. Enjoy with your favorite sides like salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.

Tips:

• Grill the Chicken: For a smoky flavor, grill the marinated chicken breasts or thighs instead of pan-frying them.
• Leftovers: Store leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• Customize the Fillings: Feel free to add or remove fillings according to your preferences. Some other options include chopped romaine lettuce, diced mango, or crumbled queso fresco cheese.
• Spicy Mayo: For a spicy twist, mix mayonnaise with sriracha or hot sauce to create a spicy mayo for the wrap.
