Ingredients
Wrap Filling
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or chopped
- 1/2 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 cup corn kernels (fresh or canned)
- 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
- 1/2 cup shredded romaine lettuce
- 1/4 cup diced red onion
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Assembly
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1/2 cup crushed tortilla chips
- 1/3 cup chipotle ranch dressing
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, black beans, corn kernels, diced red bell pepper, diced red onion, shredded romaine lettuce, and shredded cheddar cheese. Drizzle with the chipotle ranch dressing, then toss everything together gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
- Warm the tortillas: Slightly warm the flour tortillas to make them more pliable and easier to roll without cracking. This can be done by microwaving for about 15 seconds or heating briefly on a dry skillet over medium heat.
- Assemble the wraps: Lay each warm tortilla flat and spoon an equal portion of the chicken mixture onto the center of each. Evenly sprinkle the crushed tortilla chips over the filling to add a crunchy texture.
- Roll and serve: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll tightly into a wrap. Slice each wrap in half diagonally for easier handling and presentation. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh crunch.
Notes
- Add avocado slices or a squeeze of fresh lime juice inside the wrap for an extra flavor boost.
- To keep the tortilla chips crunchy, prepare the wraps ahead but add the chips just before serving.
- For variation, substitute the chicken with grilled shrimp or firm tofu to accommodate different dietary preferences.
