Method
- In a medium bowl, toss the bite-sized chicken pieces with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon cumin, ½ teaspoon smoked paprika, ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon onion powder, to taste salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it’s golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- While the chicken is cooking or cooling slightly, in a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt (or sour cream), lime juice, adobo sauce, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.½ cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1 teaspoon adobo sauce, ½ teaspoon chili powder, ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, to taste salt and pepper
- Gently warm the flour tortillas one at a time. You can do this by briefly heating them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 20-30 seconds per side, or by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving them for 20 seconds until pliable.4 large flour tortillas
- Lay a warmed tortilla flat. Spread a generous tablespoon or two of the Southwest creamy dressing over the center of the tortilla, leaving a border. Top the dressing with a portion of the cooked chicken, followed by shredded Monterey Jack cheese, rinsed black beans, corn kernels, diced red bell pepper, diced red onion, and chopped fresh cilantro.1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese, ½ cup black beans, ½ cup corn kernels, ½ cup diced red bell pepper, ¼ cup diced red onion, ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then tightly roll it up from the bottom to create a secure wrap. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and fillings. For extra flair or to make them easier to handle, you can grill or press the assembled wraps in a panini press for a few minutes until golden and the cheese is melted. Serve immediately with any extra dressing or your favorite optional toppings like sliced avocado or salsa.optional toppings: sliced avocado, salsa, hot sauce, shredded lettuce
