Southwest Chicken Wrap

Preparing the Chicken

1. Season Chicken: In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Rub the spice mixture all over the chicken breasts.
2. Cook Chicken: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into thin strips.

Preparing the Southwest Dressing

3. Mix Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt (or sour cream), mayonnaise, lime juice, chopped cilantro, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Adjust the seasoning to taste.

Assembling the Wraps

4. Warm Tortillas: Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or until pliable.
5. Add Fillings: Lay each tortilla flat and spread a tablespoon of southwest dressing down the center. Layer with shredded lettuce, corn kernels, black beans, diced tomatoes, sliced red onion, avocado slices, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped cilantro.
6. Add Chicken: Place the sliced chicken on top of the fillings.
7. Wrap: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top to form a wrap.

Serving

8. Serve: Cut each wrap in half if desired, and serve immediately with additional southwest dressing on the side for dipping.
