  • ½ tsp chili powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp chipotle pepper in adobo
  • 4 large tortillas
  • 1 cup uncooked rice
  • 1 small red bell pepper
  • 1 jalapeño
  • ½ red onion, sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • ¾ cup corn kernels
  • 1 cup black beans

Instructions

  1. Begin by marinating the diced chicken in lime juice, olive oil, seasonings, and chipotle for at least 15 minutes.
  2. While the chicken marinates, cook the rice according to the package instructions.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium heat and sauté the marinated chicken until it is cooked through, about 12–15 minutes.
  4. In the same skillet, add chopped red bell pepper, jalapeño, and sliced red onion. Sauté until tender, then add minced garlic and the cooked chicken back to the skillet.
  5. To make the wraps, layer the rice, chicken mixture, beans, corn, cheese, and sauce on each tortilla.
  6. Roll each tortilla tightly like a burrito and serve immediately.

Notes

For added crunch, include fresh lettuce or avocado slices. Adjust the spice level by adding more or less chipotle peppers.
