Ingredients

• 2 pieces Chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cups Romaine lettuce
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 1 cup Corn (cooked)
• 0.5 cup Black beans (rinsed and drained)
• 0.5 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 medium Avocado
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro (optional)
• 4 pieces Flour tortillas (large)
• 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
• 0.25 cup Sour cream
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Cumin
• 0.25 teaspoon Chili powder

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken breasts on both sides with the salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Cook the chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.

Step 3

While the chicken cooks, prepare the vegetables. Chop the romaine lettuce and halve the cherry tomatoes. Dice the avocado and roughly chop the cilantro, if using.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, garlic powder, cumin, and chili powder to make the southwest dressing.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the lettuce, cherry tomatoes, corn, black beans, shredded cheddar cheese, diced avocado, and cooked chicken strips. Toss gently to combine.

Step 6

Add the southwest dressing to the salad mixture and toss until everything is evenly coated.

Step 7

Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 15-20 seconds per side or until softened. Alternatively, microwave them for 10 seconds each.

Step 8

Spoon a generous portion of the chicken salad mixture into the center of each tortilla. Fold in the sides, then roll tightly into a wrap.

Step 9

Serve immediately, optionally garnished with extra cilantro. Enjoy!
