Ingredients

• 2 pieces chicken breast
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 piece lime
• 4 pieces flour tortillas
• 2 cups romaine lettuce
• 1 cup canned corn
• 1 cup black beans
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 piece avocado
• 1 piece tomato
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
• 0.25 cup cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Begin by marinating the chicken. In a medium bowl, mix olive oil, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Squeeze the juice of the lime into the mixture and stir well.

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts in the bowl, ensuring they are well coated with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes while you prepare other ingredients.

Step 3

In the meantime, prepare the vegetable fillings. Wash and chop the romaine lettuce, dice the tomato, and slice the avocado. Drain and rinse the canned corn and black beans.

Step 4

In a small bowl, combine sour cream and sriracha sauce to form a Southwest dressing. Stir until smooth and set aside.

Step 5

Once the chicken has finished marinating, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Step 6

Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Then slice it into strips.

Step 7

To assemble the wraps, lay each tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a spoonful of the Southwest dressing onto the center of each tortilla.

Step 8

Layer the lettuce, corn, black beans, chicken strips, diced tomato, sliced avocado, and shredded cheddar cheese onto the tortillas.

Step 9

Sprinkle chopped cilantro on top for added flavor.

Step 10

Fold the sides of the tortilla inwards, then roll the tortilla tightly to form a wrap. Repeat for the remaining tortillas.

Step 11

Cut each wrap in half and serve immediately with any remaining Southwest dressing on the side.
