Instructions

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and taco seasoning until evenly coated.
Cook the chicken for 6–7 minutes per side until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into strips.
In a small bowl, mix ranch dressing, lime juice, and 1 teaspoon taco seasoning until smooth to prepare the Southwest sauce.
Lay tortillas flat and evenly distribute shredded lettuce over each one.
Top with sliced chicken, black beans, corn, cherry tomatoes, red onion, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped cilantro.
Drizzle the Southwest sauce over the fillings.
Fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll tightly into wraps.
Optional: Grill wraps seam-side down in a skillet for 2–3 minutes per side until lightly golden and crispy. Slice in half and serve.

Notes

For a vegetarian version, omit chicken and add extra beans or grilled bell peppers.

Use rotisserie chicken for a quicker preparation.

Add jalapeños or hot sauce for extra heat.

Store fillings and sauce separately in airtight containers for up to 3 days.

Reheat chicken separately before assembling to maintain freshness and texture.

Freezing is not recommended for fully assembled wraps with fresh vegetables.
