Spicy Southwest Chicken Wraps: Your New Favorite Flavor-Packed Meal
Prepare to discover your new culinary obsession! These Spicy Southwest Chicken Wraps are truly a game-changer, bursting with an irresistible combination of vibrant flavors and satisfying textures. From the very first bite, you’ll understand why I’m completely captivated by this recipe. They offer the perfect balance of smoky heat, refreshing zest, and creamy richness, all elegantly contained within a soft, versatile flatbread. This dish isn’t just a meal; it’s an experience that tantalizes your taste buds and leaves you feeling perfectly content.
The magic begins with sweet kernels of corn, perfectly complementing the juicy, fresh tomatoes and the hearty black beans. A bright twist of lime juice cuts through the richness, adding an invigorating tang. The star of the show, the chicken, is infused with a smoky, spicy Southwest seasoning that provides a delightful kick, beautifully mellowed by the creamy avocado and the tangy cheese. Each element plays a crucial role, creating a symphony of flavors that truly defines what a perfect wrap should be. And, of course, it all comes together flawlessly with my absolute favorite Flatout flatbreads, known for their incredible taste and adaptability. Having collaborated with Flatout for a considerable time, I continue to find endless inspiration for crafting innovative and delicious recipes with their exceptional products. The possibilities genuinely are limitless!
Quick, Easy, and Flavorful: Ideal for Weeknights and Meal Prep
These Spicy Southwest Chicken Wraps are an exemplary choice for a delicious, quick, and easy weeknight dinner, making mealtime stress-free without compromising on taste. But their utility extends far beyond just dinner; they are also perfectly suited for meal prepping, allowing you to enjoy flavorful and healthy lunches throughout your busy week. The original recipe is designed to serve two, making it perfect for couples or a solo diner with leftovers, but its simplicity means it can be effortlessly doubled or even tripled to feed an entire family or prepare a larger batch for extended meal planning. This adaptability makes it a practical solution for various household sizes and schedules.
A note on the spice level: these wraps embrace a delightful heat, derived from the robust Southwest seasoning. If you have younger children, or family members who prefer a milder flavor profile, you have several easy options. You can simply reduce the amount of Southwest seasoning used, or even substitute it with a milder taco seasoning for a different, yet equally delicious, flavor. However, for those who appreciate a good kick and the deep, smoky undertones that Southwest seasoning provides, I highly encourage you to try it as written. It truly elevates the dish to an unforgettable level of savory warmth.

Pin Recipe
Ingredients
- 5 oz raw boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into thin strips
- 1 tablespoon Southwest seasoning (use less to reduce spiciness; McCormick Southwest seasoning is a great option)
- 1 ½ teaspoons canola oil, divided
- ¼ cup frozen corn kernels, thawed
- ¼ cup drained and rinsed canned black beans
- 4 grape tomatoes, chopped
- 1/8 of a lime
- 2 Flatout Light Original Flatbreads
- 2 wedges of The Laughing Cow Queso Fresco & Chipotle cheese (or substitute another flavor)
- ¼ of an avocado, sliced
Instructions
- Place the uncooked chicken strips into a Ziploc bag and sprinkle evenly with the Southwest seasoning. Seal the bag and gently shake or massage until all chicken pieces are thoroughly coated.
- Heat 1 teaspoon of the canola oil in a medium-sized skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the seasoned chicken strips, stirring to coat them with the oil. Arrange the chicken in a single layer and cook for 5-6 minutes, flipping occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked through and lightly browned. Remove the cooked chicken to a side plate.
- Add the remaining ½ teaspoon of oil to the same pan and maintain medium heat. Incorporate the thawed corn kernels and black beans, cooking and stirring occasionally for 1-2 minutes. Towards the end of cooking, add the chopped tomatoes and stir briefly over the heat. Squeeze the juice from the entire lime section over the corn mixture, then remove the pan from the heat.
- Lay the Flatout flatbreads on a clean, dry surface. Spread one cheese wedge down the center of each flatbread, lengthwise (from one rounded end to the other). You can leave a small margin at each end for folding. Distribute the cooked chicken evenly between the two flatbreads, placing it on top of the cheese layer. Next, divide the corn and bean mixture over the chicken, and finally, top with the avocado slices. Ensure you leave an inch or so of space at both ends of the flatbread.
- To assemble the wraps, first fold in the rounded ends of each flatbread over the filling. Then, fold one of the long edges over the filling and continue to roll tightly until the wrap is completely sealed. For easier eating, you may slice each finished wrap in half diagonally before serving. Enjoy your two delicious, full-sized wraps!
