It’s been awhile since I’ve posted any recipies and I made this yummy little meal the other night and boy did it hit the right spot. I’m not certain what it is about wraps that I love so much but anything in a wrap seems to be good. Maybe it’s convenience? I’m not sure.
I saved the recipe in MS Word and therefore I do not know where I got it from. It is not a recipe that I came up with…
Crispy Southwest Chicken Wraps
*Makes 6 wraps*INGREDIENTS:
1 cup cooked rice, warm or at room temperature
1 cup cooked, shredded chicken
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 green onion, finely sliced (white and green parts)
1/2 red or green pepper, diced
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
juice of 1 lime
1/2 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
2 cups shredded cheese (I used a combination of monterey jack and sharp cheddar)
Sour cream (optional)
6 burrito-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.
Nice. If you have the time, the best/easiest way to make juicy shredded chicken is in the slow cooker.

I know but I threw mine out. I never used it and it sat in the back of a cupboard for years collecting greasy dust. I’ll go explore Home Outfitters and Cuisinart…
