Preparation Steps
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, black beans, corn, salsa, red onion, and chopped cilantro. Sprinkle with cumin and chili powder. Toss to combine.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lime juice, minced chipotle peppers, salt, and black pepper until smooth. This is your creamy Southwest dressing.
- Add about half of the dressing to the chicken mixture and toss gently to coat. Add more dressing if needed, or reserve some for serving.
- Warm the tortillas according to package directions. Spoon the chicken filling evenly into the center of each tortilla.
- Fold in the sides of the tortillas and then roll them up tightly to form wraps.
- Serve immediately, with any remaining dressing on the side for dipping.
Notes
For an extra kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the chicken mixture. You can also add shredded lettuce or avocado to the wraps before rolling.
