Planning the perfect picnic lunch outing, but don’t know what to make? Chicken Wraps are easy to make, transport perfectly and taste amazing.
Southwestern Chicken Wraps
Wraps are easy to make because all you have to do is lay out all the ingredients and roll up the tortilla. Just make sure you place all the ingredients in a long row in the middle of your tortilla- this will make rolling it up so much easier.
To create the wrapped tortilla effect: Roll up tortilla by slightly folding in sides towards the center as you fold the side nearest you upwards toward the top of the tortilla. Roll wrap away from you keeping all of the inside fillings tight. Slice wrap in half and serve.
Pick and choose the ingredients that work best for you and your family. If you don’t like black beans, try red beans or refried red beans for a unique twist. Sometimes I flavor my black beans with Cumin for a little bit of a Mexican flavor twist. Don’t be afraid to experiment!
Bring along your favorite fruit and chips and you’ll have a full meal without much work!
Wraps can be made one night in advance, if stored in refrigerator lightly wrapped.

- Start by shredding your chicken. Pull all of white meat off of cooked rotisserie chicken or a single chicken breast. Place in a food processor or blender. Pulse slightly until chicken looks close to being ground. Or for larger pieces, pull apart and use as is.
- Lay out your tortilla and line all ingredients down the middle of the tortilla.
- Roll up tortilla by slightly folding in sides towards the center as you fold the side nearest you upwards toward the top of the tortilla. Roll wrap away from you keeping all of the inside fillings tight. Slice wrap in half and serve.

Yum! This looks delicious! I bet it would be great toasted a bit on the panini grill too!
Oh my goodness- I love that idea Vanessa! I’ve been obsessed with making paninis lately (it’s too hot to use the stove :c) I might have to try that here in the next few days!
