Instructions
Creating the Southwest Chicken Wrap is simple when you follow these straightforward steps:
1. Prepare the Chicken: If using leftover chicken, shred or dice it into bite-sized pieces. If cooking fresh chicken, season with salt and pepper, then grill or sauté until fully cooked. Allow it to cool before shredding.
2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, black beans, corn, diced bell pepper, red onion, and cilantro. Mix well.
3. Add Dressing: Pour in the ranch dressing or Southwest dressing. Stir until all ingredients are well coated. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
4. Warm Tortillas: If desired, warm the tortillas in a skillet or microwave for a few seconds to make them more pliable.
5. Assemble Wrap: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon a generous amount of the chicken mixture onto the center of the tortilla.
6. Add Avocado and Cheese: Top the mixture with sliced avocado and shredded cheese.
7. Wrap It Up: Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it from the bottom up to secure all ingredients tightly.
8. Slice and Serve: Cut the wrap in half diagonally for easy eating. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
