Equipment
- 1 Skillet
- 1 Sharp Knife
- 1 Cutting Board
Ingredients
Spicy Chicken:
- 14 ounces chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning see notes
- 3 tablespoons oil for cooking
Red Sauce:
- 1 red onion
- 8 ounces canned red beans drained weight
- 2.5 ounces corn kernels
- 1/2 red bell pepper
- 14 ounces diced tomatoes canned
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Pinch of pepper
Additional Ingredients:
- 6 tortillas see notes
- 6.3 ounces Gouda or Cheddar cheese
- Optional Ingredients:
- 10.5 ounces sour cream 20% fat
- 1 cup chopped green lettuce
Instructions
Prepare the Ingredients:
- Drain and rinse the corn and red beans.
- Slice the red onion and red bell pepper into thin strips.
- Grate the Gouda or Cheddar cheese and set aside.
Cook the Chicken:
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken strips, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook until the chicken is done and no longer pink inside.
Make the Red Sauce:
- In the same skillet, add the red onion and red bell pepper to the remaining oil. Sauté over high heat for a few minutes until they soften slightly. Lightly salt and stir occasionally.
- Add the red beans, corn, diced tomatoes, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat.
Assemble the Wraps:
- Heat a wide skillet over medium-low heat for the tortillas. Place a tortilla on the skillet and heat for about 10 seconds on one side, flip it, then immediately sprinkle with cheese, add about 3 tablespoons of the red sauce, and place a few strips of chicken on top. Remove from heat onto a plate.
- Fold the bottom of the tortilla up, then fold in the sides to enclose the filling.
- Serve the spicy chicken wraps on a bed of chopped lettuce with a dollop of sour cream on top if desired. Enjoy!

1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/5 teaspoon black pepper
1/5 teaspoon cayenne pepper Tortillas: I used 10-inch tortillas and made 6 servings. If you're using smaller tortillas, you might need about 8 tortillas.
