Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 1 medium Green bell pepper
- 0.75 cup Sweet corn kernels
- 0.75 cup Black beans
- 1 large Avocado
- 1 medium Lime
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
- 0.5 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 large Tortillas
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 1 teaspoon Hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
Begin by slicing the chicken breasts into thin strips.
In a small bowl, mix together chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle the seasoning mix over the chicken strips and toss to coat evenly.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken strips and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fully cooked and slightly browned. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Add the sliced red and green bell peppers and cook for 4-5 minutes until they start to soften.
Stir in the sweet corn and black beans, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until heated through. Remove the skillet from heat.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mash the avocado and mix in the juice of 1 lime. Add a pinch of salt and the chopped cilantro, stirring to combine.
Warm the tortillas either in a dry skillet for 30 seconds on each side or in the microwave for 10 seconds each.
To assemble the wraps, spread 2 tablespoons of the avocado mixture onto the center of each tortilla. Layer with a portion of the cooked chicken, sautéed vegetables, shredded cheddar cheese, and a dollop of sour cream. Add a drizzle of hot sauce if desired.
Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it tightly from the bottom up to fully enclose the filling.
Slice each wrap in half and serve immediately. Enjoy your Southwestern Wraps!
