Southwest Chicken Wraps With Black Bean 

Cook’s Notes for Southwest Chicken Wraps with Black Bean

I like to crisp up my tortilla before filling, but that’s totally optional. It does stay nice and crisp even if your preparing for a lunch and is a lot neater to eat, I think.

The Southwest chicken rub is delicious and it’s well worth rubbing and cooking up a bunch of chicken breasts, slicing and refrigerating or freezing for easy wraps or tacos anytime!

Ingredients

Southwest Rub:

• 1 Tbsp chili powder
• 1 tsp chipotle chili powder
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1/2 tsp ground coriander
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• 1/2 tsp oregano
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/8 tsp Freshly ground pepper
• Pinch or two of cayenne if you'd like a bit of heat
• 2 Tbsp olive oil
• 4 boneless chicken breasts

To prepare:

• 8 large whole wheat tortillas
• Spring Mix or Mixed Greens
• Miscela Black Bean

Instructions

1. Combine all the spices for the Southwest Rub in a small bowl. Stir together, then add olive oil and stir in to a paste. Rub paste on the boneless chicken breasts. Place on a plate, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate, allowing them to marinate for 30 minutes-2 hours. 
2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat on the stove-top (or add a splash of oil to a regular skillet). Cook chicken breast, turning every few minutes, until cooked through and well browned on the outside. At this point you can allow to cool slightly then cover and refrigerate to use from the fridge later or use immediately.
3. To serve, place tortilla in a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat until starting to brown in spots. Remove to a cutting board. Place a heap of lettuce mix in the centre. Top with slices of chicken, then spoon several tablespoons of the Miscela Black Bean over-top. Roll up and enjoy! (Note: Work quickly to fill after heating the tortilla, so it doesn't cool and stiffen up too much and make it hard to roll).
