Chicken - Crispy Southwest Wraps

By gibsonashlee

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

Preparation

Step 1

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.
