Ingredients

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 teaspoon chili powder

  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika

  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • 4 large flour tortillas

  • 1 cup shredded lettuce

  • 1 medium tomato, diced

  • 1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced

  • 1/2 cup black beans, drained and rinsed

  • 1/2 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)

Instructions

  • Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

  • Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil and season with chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

  • Grill the chicken for 6-8 minutes per side until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F).

  • Remove chicken from grill, rest for a few minutes, and slice into thin strips.

  • To assemble, lay tortillas flat.

  • Layer shredded lettuce, sliced chicken, tomato, red onion, black beans, corn, and cheese in the center of each tortilla.

  • Add a dollop of sour cream and drizzle salsa or Southwest dressing, if desired.

  • Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll tightly.

  • Serve immediately or wrap in foil for a portable meal.

Notes

  • Customize with avocado, grilled shrimp, or steak for variation.

  • Use whole wheat tortillas for a healthier option.

  • For a spicier wrap, add hot sauce or jalapeños.
