Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Tex-Mex
Serves: 4 servings

Ingredients

  1. 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  2. 1 cup black beans, drained
  3. 1 cup corn
  4. 1 cup salsa
  5. 4 large tortillas
  6. 1 cup shredded cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare all ingredients by shredding the cooked chicken, draining black beans, and measuring out corn and salsa.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the shredded chicken, black beans, corn, and salsa. Stir to combine and warm through for 5-7 minutes until mixture is heated evenly.
  3. Warm the tortillas briefly in the microwave or on a separate skillet to make them more pliable and easier to fold.

  5. Divide the warm chicken and bean mixture equally among the four tortillas, placing it directly on top of the cheese.
  6. Add optional toppings like chopped lettuce or a dollop of sour cream if desired.
  7. Fold the bottom of the tortilla up, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly to create a sealed wrap.
  8. Optional: Place wraps seam-side down in a hot skillet and lightly toast for 2-3 minutes to create a golden, crispy exterior.
  9. Slice wraps diagonally and serve immediately while warm.

  6. Use freshly shredded cheese for better melting and flavor
  7. Let the filled wraps rest for a minute before cutting to help them hold their shape
  8. Serve immediately to enjoy the perfect crispy-warm texture
