Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

For the Wraps:

  • 4 large flour tortillas (burrito-sized)

  • 1 cup (150g) shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese

  • 1 cup (165g) canned black beans, drained and rinsed

  • 1 cup (165g) canned corn, drained

  • 1 large tomato, diced

  • 1 avocado, sliced

  • ¼ cup (15g) chopped fresh cilantro

  • ¼ cup (60ml) sour cream or Greek yogurt

  • ¼ cup (60ml) salsa (mild, medium, or hot)


Instructions

1. Cook the Chicken:

  • Rub chicken breasts with olive oil, taco seasoning, salt, and pepper.

  • Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 5–7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  • Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice into thin strips.

2. Assemble the Wraps:

  • Lay each tortilla flat. Spread 1 tablespoon of sour cream and 1 tablespoon of salsa in the center.

  • Add shredded cheese, sliced chicken, black beans, corn, diced tomato, avocado slices, and chopped cilantro.

3. Wrap and Roll:

  • Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom like a burrito.

  • Repeat with remaining tortillas and ingredients.

4. Serve:

 

  • Slice wraps in half and serve with extra salsa, guacamole, or tortilla chips on the side.


Notes

  • Add spice: Toss in sliced jalapeños or drizzle with hot sauce for extra kick.

  • Make it vegetarian: Swap chicken for extra black beans, grilled vegetables, or tofu.

  • Extra creamy: Add a spoonful of chipotle mayo or ranch dressing before rolling.

 

  • Crunch factor: Lightly toast the wrapped burritos in a dry skillet or sandwich press for a golden, crispy exterior.
