  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 wraps 1x

Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb), sliced into thin strips
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for extra spice)

For the Wraps:

  • 4 large whole wheat or flour tortillas
  • 1 cup romaine lettuce, shredded
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, diced
  • ½ cup black beans, drained and rinsed
  • ½ cup corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
  • ¼ cup red onion, finely diced
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

For the Sauce:

  • ½ cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. Prepare the Chicken

  • In a medium bowl, combine the sliced chicken with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne (if using).
  • Toss well to coat the chicken evenly with the spices.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fully cooked and slightly charred. Remove from heat and set aside.

2. Make the Sauce

  • In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt (or sour cream), mayonnaise, lime juice, garlic powder, smoked paprika, chili powder, and salt until smooth. Set aside.

3. Assemble the Wraps

  • Warm the tortillas slightly on a dry skillet for a few seconds to make them more pliable.
  • Lay a tortilla flat and spread about 1 tablespoon of the sauce onto the center.
  • Layer with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, black beans, corn, shredded cheese, red onion, and chopped cilantro.
  • Add a generous portion of the cooked chicken on top.

4. Wrap and Serve

  • Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to form a secure wrap.
  • Slice in half and serve immediately, or wrap tightly in foil for later.
  • Cook Time: 10 minutes
