CRISPY SOUTHWEST CHICKEN WRAPS Ingredients 1 cup cooked rice, warm or at room temperature 1 cup cooked, shredded chicken (or other leftover meat, like shredded pork or beef) 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained 1 green onion, finely sliced (white and green parts) 1/2 red or green pepper, diced 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped juice of 1 lime 1/2 tablespoon chili powder 1 teaspoon ground cumin 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt 2 cups shredded cheese (I use a combination of Monterey jack and sharp cheddar) lite Sour cream (optional) 6 burrito-sized whole wheat tortillas Directions Mix rice together with chili powder, cumin and garlic salt. Add remaining ingredients except for cheese and sour cream. Sprinkle cheese over tortillas, leaving 1/2-inch border around edges, then arrange chicken and rice mixture down the center of each tortilla. (Optional: I like to dollop little bits of sour cream over the cheese before arranging chicken and rice mixture down the center – it makes the wraps delightfully creamy.) Roll stuffed tortillas, leaving edges open and slightly flatten the wraps with the palm of your hand. Spray seam-side of the wrap lightly with cooking spray. Heat a large non-stick skillet (or griddle) over medium heat for 1 minute. Arrange wraps, seam-side down, in pan or griddle and cook until golden brown and crisp, about 2-3 minutes per side. Cooking them seam-side down first helps seal the long edge so they don’t fall apart. Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining wraps. Serve warm.
