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 cream
1 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.
This is what mine looked like. I don't know anyone who can make food look as good as the original picture. But it tastes SOOOOOOOO yummy. We all loved it. The flavor was so good. The best part was that it was so easy and fast to make... I doubled the recipe and we still have probably 3 portions left.
