Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (300g) cooked chicken, shredded or diced
- 2 teaspoons Southwest seasoning (chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cayenne)
- 4 large flour tortillas (spinach or tomato wraps optional)
- ½ cup (85g) black beans, rinsed and drained
- ½ cup (85g) corn, canned or thawed if frozen
- ½ cup (60g) shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
- 1 cup chopped lettuce
- ½ cup diced tomatoes
- ¼ cup diced red onion
- ¼ cup (60ml) Southwest dressing (ranch mixed with hot sauce or taco seasoning)
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
Instructions
- Heat your skillet over medium heat. Add the cooked chicken and sprinkle with the Southwest seasoning. Stir until the chicken is evenly coated and warmed through.
- Chop your lettuce, tomatoes, and red onion. Toss them in a bowl with the lime juice and a pinch of salt.
- In a small bowl, mix the ranch dressing with a dash of hot sauce or taco seasoning. Taste and adjust spice as needed.
- Lay out your tortillas and spread a thin layer of dressing on each. Add a scoop of the seasoned chicken, black beans, corn, cheese, and veggie mix. Roll them up tightly, tucking in the sides.
- Optional: Heat the skillet again and lightly toast each wrap for 2-3 minutes per side for extra crispiness.
