SANTA FE CHICKEN SALAD WRAPS

Ingredients

Santa Fe Dressing

  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup thinly sliced green onions
  • ¼ cup chopped cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon chili powder
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon cumin

Chicken Salad

  • 3 cups chopped OR shredded chicken (I use a rotisserie chicken)
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans drained & rinsed
  • 1 can (15 oz) fire roasted corn drained
  • 1 orange bell pepper finely chopped

Wraps

  • 8-10 large burrito style flour tortillas
  • halved cherry tomatoes
  • shredded lettuce
  • sliced avocado

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine all the creamy dressing ingredients and mix together well.
  • Add the chicken, black beans, corn, bell pepper, and stir together well until everything is combined and covered in dressing.
  • Lay a flour tortilla on a plate and place about ½ cup of the chicken salad onto the bottom half of the tortilla. Add shredded lettuce, halved tomatoes, and avocado slices. Fold up the sides and then roll up like a burrito. Cut in half and serve.
  • * Chicken salad can be eaten right away or refrigerated for several hours before serving. Leftover chicken salad can be refrigerated, in a covered container, for 3-4 days.** I prefer to refrigerate the chicken salad (for 2-3 hours) before serving.*** If serving at a later time, simply store the chicken salad in an air-tight container in the fridge, and store the wrap ingredients separately. When ready to serve, assemble the wraps.

Notes

Corn : After years of testing and making this recipe, the fire roasted canned corn gives the chicken salad the best flavor. But yes, you can use another canned corn variety.Serving Suggestions : This chicken salad can also be eaten with a spoon, over lettuce for a salad, inside a Croissant, or use crackers to scoop it up. 

Lime : It’s best to use fresh squeezed lime juice. You will need 1 lime for this recipe.
