Time 30m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 medium skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 (1.25 ounce) package taco seasoning mix
1 (15.25 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
½ head iceberg lettuce, shredded
1 large tomato, diced
5 medium green onions, finely chopped
1 ½ cups shredded Cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons ranch dressing, or to taste
10 (8 inch) flour tortillas

Steps:

  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Season chicken with taco seasoning.
  • Cook on the preheated grill until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 5 to 7 minutes per side.

I LOVE wraps. I found this one on the internet, just a while ago. It's very good, especially if you like spicy, if you don't you can just omit the hot sauce. It's better than a plain on sandwich any time.

Tips:

  • For a healthier version of the Southwestern Chicken Wraps, use whole wheat tortillas and lower-fat cheese. You can also add more vegetables to the wraps, such as shredded carrots, bell peppers, or corn.
  • If you don't have any salsa verde on hand, you can use a store-bought salsa or pico de gallo instead. You can also make your own salsa verde by blending together tomatillos, cilantro, onion, garlic, and jalapeno peppers.
  • If you're using a skillet to cook the chicken, be sure to preheat the skillet over medium-high heat before adding the chicken. This will help to prevent the chicken from sticking to the pan and ensure that it cooks evenly.
  • Be careful not to overcook the chicken. Chicken is best when it is cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve the Southwestern Chicken Wraps immediately with your favorite toppings, such as guacamole, sour cream, and shredded lettuce.

Conclusion:

Southwestern Chicken Wraps are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. They are packed with flavor and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect Southwestern Chicken Wraps every time.
