Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works well)

1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed

1 cup corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)

1 cup diced red bell pepper

1/2 cup diced red onion

1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup ranch dressing (or southwest ranch dressing for extra flavor)

1 teaspoon chili powder

1/2 teaspoon cumin

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for extra heat)

4 large flour tortillas (or whole wheat for a healthier option)

Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

Combine the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, black beans, corn, red bell pepper, red onion, and cilantro.

    Season: Sprinkle in the chili powder, cumin, and cayenne pepper (if using). Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated.

      Add the Dressing: Pour the ranch dressing over the chicken mixture. Stir until everything is well combined and coated in dressing.

        Assemble the Wraps: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon a generous amount of the chicken mixture onto the center of the tortilla, followed by a portion of shredded cheddar cheese.

          Wrap It Up: Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up from the bottom to enclose the filling tightly. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

            Optional Grilling: For added flavor, grill the wraps on a skillet over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and slightly crispy. This step adds great texture and warms the filling.

              Serve: Cut the wraps in half diagonally, serve with lime wedges on the side for extra zest. Enjoy with a side of salsa or guacamole!
