Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb chicken breast or tenders
- 1 cup black beans, canned or cooked
- 1 cup corn kernels
- 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 8–10 inch flour tortillas
- 1 tbsp chili powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
- 1–2 tbsp chipotle sauce or adobo sauce
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese (optional)
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
Instructions
- Season the chicken with chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.
- Cook the chicken in a skillet over medium-high heat for 6-7 minutes per side, until it reaches 165°F. Let rest and slice into thin strips.
- Sauté the bell pepper and red onion in the same skillet for 3-4 minutes until tender but still crunchy. Add the corn and black beans to warm through.
- In a small bowl, mix together sour cream (or Greek yogurt), lime juice, and chipotle sauce.
- Lay the tortilla flat, then layer the chicken, sautéed veggies, black beans, corn, and cheese if using. Drizzle with the chipotle sauce and sprinkle with fresh cilantro.
- Roll up the tortilla tightly, folding in the sides as you go. Optionally, toast the wrap in the skillet for 2-3 minutes on each side to make it crispy.
Notes
- If you’re short on time, use rotisserie chicken to save on prep.
- For a lighter version, use a whole wheat or low-carb tortilla.
- You can store the components of the wrap separately in the fridge and assemble when ready. This makes for a great meal-prep option.
