  • Author: Luna
  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 wraps 1x

Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (sliced thin)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • Juice of 1 lime

For the Wraps:

  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • ½ cup black beans (drained and rinsed)
  • ½ cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
  • ½ cup diced tomatoes
  • ½ cup shredded romaine lettuce
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
  • ¼ cup diced red onion
  • 1 small avocado, sliced
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro

For the Sauce:

  • ½ cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon chipotle chili powder or hot sauce
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

In a bowl, combine the sliced chicken with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and lime juice. Mix well to coat evenly. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes (or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor).

Step 2: Cook the Chicken

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature should be 165°F). Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into thin strips.

Step 3: Make the Sauce

In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt (or sour cream), mayonnaise, chipotle chili powder, lime juice, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Stir until smooth and set aside.

Step 4: Assemble the Wraps

Lay out the flour tortillas on a flat surface. Spread a spoonful of the sauce in the center of each tortilla. Evenly distribute the cooked chicken, black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, cheese, red onion, avocado slices, and fresh cilantro over the sauce.

Step 5: Wrap It Up

Fold in the sides of each tortilla, then tightly roll from the bottom up to form a wrap. If needed, secure with a toothpick.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

Cut each wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately. If meal prepping, wrap them in foil or parchment paper and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
