Description

A flavorful Southwest Chicken Wrap filled with marinated chicken, fresh veggies, and a zesty sauce, perfect for quick lunches or casual gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 0.75 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • ¼ cup lime juice
  • ½ tsp chili powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp chipotle pepper in adobo
  • 4 large tortillas
  • 1 cup uncooked rice
  • 1 small red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 jalapeño, sliced
  • ½ red onion, sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • ¾ cup corn kernels
  • 1 cup black beans
  • ¼ cup cotija cheese
  • ⅓ cup sour cream
  • 1½ Tbsp honey
  • ⅓ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 12 Tbsp water
  • ¼ tsp salt

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine diced chicken with lime juice, 2 tbsp olive oil, chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and chipotle in adobo. Marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Prepare the rice according to package instructions.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add 1 tbsp olive oil. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fully cooked.
  4. In the same skillet, add sliced red bell pepper, jalapeño, and onion. Cook until tender, then add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute before adding the chicken back to warm through.
  5. Lay out tortillas and layer with rice, chicken mixture, black beans, corn, cotija cheese, and a drizzle of sour cream.
  6. Roll each tortilla tightly, tucking in the sides to secure the filling.

Notes

For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken with grilled mushrooms or zucchini. Prepare marinade and chop vegetables a day in advance for quicker preparation.
