Chicken Black Bean and Corn Wrap

 Taco seasoned chicken, black beans, corn, turkey bacon, leafy lettuce wrapped in a spinach veggie tortilla - fabulous!!!


A couple of weeks ago I found myself searching for a quick and easy meal to cook for lunch after church. As I starred at the contents of my fridge a recipe came to mind. My mom has a recipe for chicken, black beans and corn enchiladas with flour tortillas, it is delicious but requires about 30 minutes and I needed my meal prepared in half the time. Why not make it into a wrap! This recipe is husband approved and only 315 calories which is always a plus. You can take out the chicken and bacon and add some avocado and tomato to make it a veggie wrap.

I ate this the next day for lunch over a fresh green salad and a drizzle of ranch dressing. Tastes great reheated.

Saute in a sauce pan until warmed up and set aside.


Next warm up your warps on a griddle until lightly toasted.
