Instructions
Season the Chicken

Make the Southwest Sauce
- In a small bowl, mix mayo or Greek yogurt, lime juice, taco seasoning, and cilantro. Add chipotle mayo if you want extra spice.
Prep the Wraps
- Warm the tortillas briefly to make them easier to fold. Lay each tortilla flat and begin layering ingredients.
Assemble the Wraps
- Add seasoned chicken, lettuce, corn, black beans, tomatoes, avocado, red onion, and cheese. Drizzle with Southwest sauce.
Roll the Wraps
- Fold the sides inward, then roll tightly from the bottom up to seal the wrap.
Toast (Optional but recommended)
- Toast each wrap in a skillet over medium heat for 1–2 minutes per side until golden and lightly crisp.
Serve
- Slice in half and enjoy warm with extra sauce on the side.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken for a fast shortcut.
- Add jalapeños or hot sauce for extra heat.
- For meal prep, store ingredients separately and assemble before eating.
