Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked and shredded chicken breast

1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained

1 cup corn, fresh or canned

1 red bell pepper, diced

1/2 cup red onion, finely chopped

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1 avocado, diced

1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or mayonnaise for a richer taste)

2 tablespoons lime juice

1 tablespoon taco seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

4 large whole wheat or spinach tortillas

Optional: extra lime wedges and tortilla chips for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, black beans, corn, diced red bell pepper, red onion, cilantro, and diced avocado. Stir gently to combine all ingredients without mashing the avocado.

    Make the Dressing: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, lime juice, taco seasoning, salt, and pepper until smooth and evenly combined. This will be your flavorful dressing.

      Combine: Pour the dressing over the chicken salad mixture and toss gently until all the ingredients are evenly coated. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

        Assemble the Wraps: Lay out each tortilla on a clean, flat surface. Divide the chicken salad mixture evenly among the four tortillas, placing it in the center of each wrap horizontally.

          Wrap It Up: Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it tightly from the bottom up to form a wrap. Ensure that the filling is secure within the tortilla.

            Chill (Optional): If you have time, wrap each salad wrap in foil or plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes. This enhances the flavors and makes them easier to slice and serve.

              Serve: Slice each wrap in half diagonally and serve with lime wedges and tortilla chips on the side for a crunchy accompaniment.
