Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • ½ tsp cumin
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • ½ cup black beans, drained and rinsed
  • ½ cup corn kernels
  • 1 cup romaine lettuce, chopped
  • ½ cup cherry tomatoes, diced
  • ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
  • ½ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
  • ¼ cup salsa or pico de gallo
  • 1 avocado, sliced (optional)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Chicken:

    • Season the chicken with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
    • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked.
    • Let it rest before slicing.

  • Make the Southwest Sauce:

    • In a small bowl, mix sour cream (or Greek yogurt), lime juice, and chopped cilantro.
    • Adjust seasoning as needed.

  • Assemble the Wraps:

    • Lay a flour tortilla on a flat surface and spread a spoonful of the sauce over it.
    • Layer romaine lettuce, black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, and sliced chicken.
    • Add avocado and salsa if desired.

  • Wrap It Up:

    • Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it tightly to form a wrap.

  • Serve:

    • Slice the wrap in half and serve immediately, or wrap it in foil for later.

Notes

  • Spicy Variation: Add sliced jalapeños or drizzle hot sauce for extra heat.
  • Protein Swap: Use grilled shrimp, steak, or tofu instead of chicken.
  • Low-Carb Option: Swap flour tortillas for lettuce wraps.
  • Dairy-Free: Use dairy-free yogurt instead of sour cream.
  • Extra Crunch: Add crushed tortilla chips inside the wrap.
