Southwest-flavored dishes, blending Tex-Mex ingredients like black beans, corn, and chili spices, became a major American restaurant trend in the 1990s as Southwestern cuisine grew in national popularity. The wrap format made these bold flavors an easy, portable lunch option at cafes and fast-casual chains.

Bold, zesty, and packed with Southwest flavor

Seasoned chicken, black beans, corn, and a creamy chipotle dressing are rolled into a soft tortilla for a bold, satisfying lunch wrap.

Step by stepInstructions

  1. Season and grill the chicken, then slice.
  2. Warm the tortillas slightly to make them pliable.
  3. Mix the sour cream and chipotle sauce for the dressing.
  4. Layer each tortilla with lettuce, black beans, corn, chicken, and cheese.
  5. Drizzle with the chipotle dressing.
  6. Fold in the sides and roll tightly, then slice in half to serve.

💡 Chef tips & storage

Grilling the chicken with a little cumin and chili powder adds extra Southwest flavor. Warm tortillas roll much more easily without tearing than cold ones.
