Servings 4 servings

Ingredients

2 cups cooked and shredded chicken breast preferably rotisserie for convenience
1 tablespoon Southwest seasoning store-bought or homemade
1/2 teaspoon cumin
3 cloves garlic minced
1 cup fresh corn can use canned or frozen
1 cup black beans drained and rinsed
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro chopped
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese or Mexican blend
4 large flour tortillas 10-inch size
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

In a large skillet over medium heat, add the shredded chicken, minced garlic, Southwest seasoning, cumin, corn, and black beans. Stir well to combine and cook for about 5-7 minutes until heated through.
Once the chicken mixture is heated, taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped cilantro.
Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable. This will make them easier to wrap.
To assemble the wraps, place a generous portion of the chicken mixture in the center of each tortilla. Sprinkle with shredded cheese and top with avocado slices.
Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll from the bottom up to secure the filling. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
Slice each wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately with your choice of salsa or sour cream.

Notes

Tip 1: For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in lime juice and spices before cooking.
Tip 2: These wraps can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge for up to 2 days.
Variation: Try adding roasted red peppers or jalapeños for an extra kick.
