Equipment

  • Oven
  • Skillet
  • Mixing bowls
  • Knife and cutting board

Ingredients
  

  • 6-7 pieces crispy chicken tenders or strips cooked according to package directions
  • 6 large flour tortillas or spinach tortillas
  • 6 leaves romaine lettuce washed and dried
  • 2 medium tomatoes cut into slices
  • 8 oz frozen corn thawed
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or vegetable oil
  • 15 oz black beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese or Mexican blend
  • 1.5 cups mayonnaise lite or regular
  • 0.5 cup salsa your favorite brand
  • 0.5 cup milk any kind
  • 3 tbsp taco seasoning
  • 1 tbsp ground cumin

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven according to package directions and bake chicken tenders until golden and crispy, about 15-20 minutes.
  • In a small mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, salsa, milk, taco seasoning, and cumin until smooth. Set aside.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add thawed corn and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Remove chicken from oven and cut into small strips.
  • Warm tortillas in microwave for 10 seconds to make them pliable. Spread 2-3 tablespoons of southwest dressing on the lower half of each tortilla.
  • Layer romaine lettuce, tomato slices, black beans, browned corn, chicken strips, and shredded cheese on top of dressing. Drizzle with more southwest dressing.
  • Roll tortilla tightly from bottom, tucking in sides as you go. Cut in half and serve immediately with extra southwest dressing for dipping.

Notes

    >Store ingredients separately in airtight containers for up to 4 days for best meal prep results. >Warm tortillas before assembling to prevent cracking. >For crispy wraps, grill assembled wraps in a skillet with butter for 2-3 minutes per side. >Substitute sour cream for mayo in dressing for a tangier flavor. >Add avocado, bell peppers, or red onions for extra veggies.
