BBQ Chicken Salad Wraps
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- salt & pepper, to taste
- ¾ cup frozen corn, thawed
- ¾ cup black beans (drained and rinsed)
- ½ cup diced tomatoes
- ½ cup sharp cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup BBQ sauce (Sweet Baby Ray’s is our favorite)
- ¼ cup ranch dressing (I like to use homemade, but bottled is fine)
- Whole wheat tortillas (about 6 to 8)
- Lettuce (romaine, red leaf or green leaf is fine)
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat (you could also just spray it with cooking spray).
- Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then place in heated skillet. Cook about 5 to 6 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Cover with foil for a couple minutes, then remove foil and let cool before dicing into bite-size pieces. (*You could also grill your chicken if you’d rather.)
- In a large bowl, combine diced chicken, corn, black beans, tomatoes and shredded cheese and mix until combined. Drizzle BBQ sauce and ranch dressing over mixture and toss, just until evenly coated.
- Place desired amount of lettuce on top of a tortilla and then a couple large spoonfuls of chicken mixture. Roll up and serve.
