Description
Southwest Grilled Chicken Wraps are a bold and flavorful lunch or dinner option featuring juicy grilled chicken, zesty spices, fresh veggies, and creamy dressing wrapped in a soft tortilla. These easy chicken wraps are perfect for meal prep, lunchboxes, or quick weeknight meals.
Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- ½ cup black beans, rinsed and drained
- ½ cup corn (cooked or grilled)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
- ¼ cup ranch dressing or southwest dressing
Instructions
- In a bowl, coat chicken breasts with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Grill the chicken over medium heat for 6–7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked. Let rest, then slice into thin strips.
- While the chicken grills, prep wrap ingredients: chop lettuce and tomatoes, rinse beans, cook corn, and shred cheese.
- Warm tortillas slightly in a skillet or microwave for easier rolling.
- Lay out tortillas and layer with lettuce, tomatoes, black beans, corn, cheese, and grilled chicken slices.
- Drizzle ranch or southwest dressing over the top.
- Roll up the tortillas tightly, folding in the sides to secure the filling.
- Slice each wrap in half and serve immediately, or wrap tightly and refrigerate for later.
Notes
- Use rotisserie or pre-cooked grilled chicken for a shortcut.
- Add sliced avocado or guacamole for extra creaminess.
- Swap in steak, shrimp, or tofu for protein variety.
- Pepper jack or cotija cheese gives a fun flavor twist.
- Store ingredients separately if prepping ahead to avoid soggy wraps.
