Ingredients
Scale
For the Wraps:
- 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch size)
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (or turkey, beef, or plant-based protein)
- ½ cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
- ½ cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
- 1 cup shredded Mexican-blend cheese (or cheddar)
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for brushing)
For Serving:
- 1 avocado, sliced or mashed (optional)
- Sour cream or Greek yogurt (optional)
- Salsa or pico de gallo
- Fresh cilantro, chopped
- Lime wedges
Instructions
Preheat and Prepare:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) . Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Assemble the Wraps:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, black beans, corn, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until evenly coated.
- Lay the tortillas flat on a clean surface. Divide the chicken mixture evenly among the tortillas, spreading it into an even layer, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the filling.
Fold and Seal:
- Fold the sides of each tortilla inward, then roll them up tightly like burritos. Place the wraps seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the tops and sides of the wraps lightly with olive oil to help them crisp up in the oven.
Bake:
- Bake the wraps for 12-15 minutes , flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy on all sides.
Serve and Enjoy:
- Slice the wraps in half diagonally for easier handling. Serve with avocado slices, sour cream, salsa, or pico de gallo on the side. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges for an extra burst of flavor.
