Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp taco seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

For the Wrap:

  • 4 large flour tortillas (burrito-size)
  • 1 cup (150g) shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 cup (165g) canned black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup (165g) canned corn, drained
  • 1 large tomato, diced
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1/4 cup (15g) chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) salsa (mild, medium, or hot)

Instructions

 

  1. Cook the Chicken:

    • Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, taco seasoning, salt, and pepper.
    • Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
    • Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, then slice into thin strips.

  2. Assemble the Wraps:

    • Lay a tortilla flat and spread 1 tbsp of sour cream and 1 tbsp of salsa in the center.
    • Add a layer of shredded cheese, sliced chicken, black beans, corn, diced tomato, sliced avocado, and chopped cilantro.

  3. Wrap and Roll:

    • Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top, like a burrito.
    • Repeat with the remaining tortillas and ingredients.

  4. Serve:

    • Slice the wraps in half and serve with extra salsa or guacamole on the side.

Notes

 

  • Add spice: Add sliced jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce for extra heat.
  • Make it vegetarian: Replace chicken with black beans or grilled veggies.
  • Make it creamy: Add a drizzle of chipotle mayo or ranch dressing for extra creaminess.
