Creating your tasty Southwest Chicken Wrap is simple! Just follow these easy steps:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with taco seasoning, ensuring they are evenly coated.
2. Heat the Pan: In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts.
3. Cook the Chicken: Sauté the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center.
4. Slice the Chicken: Remove the cooked chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
5. Warm the Tortillas: In the same skillet, briefly warm the tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side to make them pliable.
6. Assemble the Wrap: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Start by placing a generous amount of romaine lettuce in the center.
7. Add Toppings: Layer the sliced chicken, cherry tomatoes, corn, black beans, shredded cheddar cheese, and cilantro over the lettuce.
8. Include Avocado: Add a few slices of avocado for richness and depth.
9. Drizzle Dressing: Lightly drizzle your preferred Southwest dressing over the filled tortilla.
10. Wrap It Up: Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to create a wrap. Repeat for the remaining tortillas.
