Black Bean Chicken Wrap Recipe

About

A hearty and satisfying wrap packed with seasoned chicken, creamy black beans, and fresh toppings. Quick to assemble and budget-friendly, it makes a perfect weeknight dinner.

1. 1

   Season the Chicken

   prep 3 min

   In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, garlic powder, a generous pinch of salt, and black pepper. Add the sliced chicken strips and toss well until every piece is evenly coated in the spice mixture. Let the chicken sit for a minute while you heat the skillet.

2. 2

   Cook the Chicken

   cook 8 min

   Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 1 minute. Add the seasoned chicken strips and cook for 6–8 minutes, turning occasionally with tongs, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 2 minutes. While the chicken rests, warm the black beans in the same skillet for step 3.

3. 3

   Warm the Black Beans

   cook 3 min

   Add the drained and rinsed black beans directly to the same skillet over medium heat. Season lightly with salt and pepper and stir occasionally for 2–3 minutes, until the beans are heated through. Remove from heat.

4. 4

   Warm the Tortillas

   prep 3 min

   Place each flour tortilla directly over a low gas flame or in the dry skillet for about 20–30 seconds per side, until warm and pliable with light golden spots. Stack the warmed tortillas on a plate and cover with a clean towel to keep them soft.

5. 5

   Assemble the Wraps

   serve 3 min

   Lay each warm tortilla flat on a cutting board. Spread 2 tablespoons of sour cream down the center of each tortilla, then spoon on an even portion of black beans and chicken strips. Top with shredded cheese and a generous spoonful of salsa.

6. 6

   Roll and Serve

   serve 2 min

   Fold in the sides of each tortilla, then roll tightly from the bottom up to form a compact wrap. Slice each wrap in half on a diagonal and serve immediately with extra salsa and sour cream on the side if desired.
