Ingredients

  1. 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
    1 tablespoon olive oil
    1 teaspoon chili powder
    1/2 teaspoon cumin
    1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
    Salt and pepper, to taste
    4 large flour or whole wheat tortillas
    1 cup cooked black beans, rinsed and drained
    1 cup corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)
    1 cup shredded lettuce
    1/2 cup diced tomatoes
    1/4 cup chopped red onion
    1/2 cup shredded cheddar or pepper jack cheese
    1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
    For the Southwest Sauce:
    1/2 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
    1 tablespoon lime juice
    1 teaspoon chili powder
    1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
    Salt to taste

Instructions

In a small bowl, combine chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Rub seasoning over the chicken breasts.

  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken for 5-7 minutes per side, until cooked through and no longer pink inside. Let rest, then slice thinly.
  2. In a bowl, mix Greek yogurt, lime juice, chili powder, garlic powder, and salt to make the southwest sauce.
  3. Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
  4. Assemble wraps by layering chicken, black beans, corn, lettuce, tomatoes, red onion, cheese, and cilantro on each tortilla.
  5. Drizzle with southwest sauce, then roll up tightly. Cut in half and serve.

Notes

  1. Use grilled shrimp or tofu instead of chicken.
  2. Add avocado slices or guacamole for creaminess.
  3. Use chipotle mayo or salsa instead of southwest sauce.
  4. Include cooked quinoa or rice for extra bulk.
  5. Swap flour tortillas for corn or lettuce wraps for lighter options.
  6. Wraps are best eaten fresh but can be refrigerated up to 1 day.
  7. Reheat chicken separately and assemble before serving to avoid sogginess.
