Southwest Chicken Wraps


Southwest Chicken Wraps
Ingredients
Serves 4
3 cups chopped cooked chicken
8 ounces picante sauce (I used mild)
1 1/2 teaspoon chili powder (I used mild)
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
1 (14 ½ ounce) can black beans, drained
8 flour tortillas
1 medium tomato
1 cup shredded lettuce
2 tablespoons chopped green onions
½ cup guacamole
½ cup sour cream1 teaspoon chopped fresh cilantro
****EDITED, I didn't use cilantro. I'm not a fan of it so i'm not sure how it tastes with it in there.****
1. Combine chicken, picante sauce, chili powder and garlic powder in a large skillet and mix well. Cook over medium heat until heated through, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
2. Add ¾ cup Cheddar and beans to chicken mixture and mix well.
3. Wrap flour tortillas in a kitchen towel microwave on HIGH for 1 minute.
4. Spoon equal portions of the chicken mixture onto each warm tortilla.
5. Chop the tomato. Top chicken mixture with remaining Cheddar, lettuce, tomato, green onions, guacamole, sour cream and cilantro. Roll to enclose filling.
Serve immediately.
VARIATION
For a delicious meatless meal, replace the chicken with refried beans or red kidney beans, then add grilled peppers and onions and sliced black olives to the filling.
