Ingredients

Wrap and Filling
- Large tortillas
- 1 pound cooked and shredded chicken breast
- 1 cup corn
- 1 cup black beans
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 1/4 cup diced red onion
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin

Dipping Sauce

Instructions
- Preheat Skillet: Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat to prepare for crisping the wraps.
- Mix Filling: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, corn, black beans, diced tomatoes, cheddar cheese, chopped cilantro, diced red onion, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together until well mixed.
- Assemble Wraps: Lay a large tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon a generous amount of the chicken mixture onto the center of the tortilla.
- Roll Wraps: Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to encase the filling securely into a wrap.
- Cook Wraps: Place the wrap seam-side down on the preheated skillet. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until the tortilla turns golden brown and crispy.
- Repeat: Repeat the assembly and cooking steps with the remaining tortillas and filling mixture.
- Prepare Dipping Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the sour cream and salsa until combined to create a flavorful dipping sauce.
- Serve: Slice the cooked wraps in half diagonally and serve alongside the salsa sour cream dipping sauce.
- Enjoy: Enjoy your delicious and crispy Southwest Chicken Wraps fresh from the skillet.
Notes
- Use cooked chicken breast to save time; rotisserie chicken works well.
- Adjust the seasoning blend to taste if you prefer more or less spice.
- For a gluten-free option, substitute with gluten-free tortillas.
- The wraps can be made ahead and reheated in the skillet or oven for crispiness.
- Adding avocado slices inside the wrap can add a creamy texture.
