Crispy Southwest Wraps

Chicken - Crispy Southwest Wraps

Ingredients

1cup cooked rice, warm or at room temperature
1cup cooked, shredded chicken
1can black beans, rinsed and drained
1green onion, finely sliced (white and green parts)
½red or green pepper, diced
¼cup fresh cilantro, chopped
juice of 1 lime
½tablespoon chili powder
1teaspoon ground cumin
½teaspoon garlic salt
2cups shredded cheese (I used a combination of monterey jack and sharp cheddar)
Sour cream (optional)
6burrito-sized flour tortillas

Directions


Mix rice together with chili powder, cumin and garlic salt. Add remaining ingredients except for cheese and sour cream. Sprinkle cheese over tortillas, leaving 1/2-inch border around edges, then arrange chicken and rice mixture down the center of each tortilla. (Optional: on some of the wraps, I dotted the cheese with about 1-2 tablespoons of reduced fat sour cream before arranging chicken and rice mixture down the center – it made the wraps delightfully creamy.) Roll stuffed tortillas, leaving edges open. Spray the tortillas all over with cooking spray. Heat a large non-stick skillet (or griddle) over medium heat for 1 minute. Arrange 2 wraps, seam-side down, in pan and cook until golden brown and crisp, about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining wraps. Serve.

Grilled Chicken Wrap

Instead of going through the drive- thru for lunch to get a wrap, Detour to your house throw some chicken on the grill and make homemade grilled chicken wraps. 


Ingredients:

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Juice from one lemon
6 lettuce leaves (green leafy kind)
1 tomato, seeded and chopped
3 large tortillas, any flavor you like
¼ cup Light Ranch dressing
Salt and pepper
1 cup shredded cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil


Directions: 
Heat your grill to medium/high and lightly coat with olive oil. Generously salt and pepper both sides of your chicken breasts. Place onto grill and cook each side for about 10 minutes. Baste with lemon juice often. Once fully cooked, remove from heat and let them to sit for at least 5 minutes. This keeps the juices in. Now cut chicken into slices and set aside. Take out your tortillas and spread lightly with Ranch dressing. Place lettuce first, then chicken, tomato and cheese into each tortilla. Fold in the sides and wrap it up so it looks like a burrito, ends closed. Place on grill and press down with a spatula just long enough to leave pretty grill marks. Do this for both sides. Now cut on a diagonal and serve. Delicious and healthy!
