Craving bold flavor? Our Southwest Chicken Wraps deliver! Succulent shredded chicken, sautéed bell pepper & onion, black beans, and corn unite in soft tortillas. Easy to make, loaded with texture.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • 8 large flour tortillas
  • 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1/4 red onion, finely diced
  • 1 tablespoon Southwest seasoning blend
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Cook the chicken. In a large skillet, cook the chicken breast over medium heat until fully cooked (internal temperature 165°F/74°C). Remove from skillet, let cool slightly, then shred or dice into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
  2. Step 2: Sauté vegetables. In the same skillet, add a small amount of oil if needed, then add the diced red bell pepper and finely diced red onion. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened. Stir in the Southwest seasoning blend and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Step 3: Combine ingredients. Add the shredded chicken, rinsed black beans, and frozen corn to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Heat through for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until all ingredients are warm. Remove from heat and stir in the shredded Monterey Jack cheese until it begins to melt.
  4. Step 4: Warm tortillas. Warm the flour tortillas according to package directions – either in a microwave, dry skillet, or oven – until pliable and warm.
  5. Step 5: Assemble the wraps. Lay out a warm tortilla, spoon a generous amount of the chicken and vegetable mixture down the center, then fold in the sides and roll tightly from the bottom to create a wrap. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Keep any leftover chicken and veggie filling in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days; store tortillas separately to maintain their fresh texture.
  • Reheat the filling gently in a skillet over medium-low heat or in the microwave until warmed through, then assemble with freshly warmed tortillas for the best experience.
  • Elevate your wraps with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt, a side of fresh salsa or guacamole, and a squeeze of lime juice for an extra pop of flavor!
  • For the best texture, always stir in your shredded Monterey Jack cheese *after* taking the skillet off the heat; it will melt beautifully into the warm filling without getting oily or clumpy.
