Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked and shredded chicken breast

1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained

1 cup corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)

1 red bell pepper, diced

1/2 cup red onion, finely chopped

1 avocado, diced

1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or sour cream)

1/4 cup mayonnaise

Juice of 1 lime

1 tablespoon taco seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

4 large flour tortillas or lettuce leaves (for a low-carb option)

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, black beans, corn, red bell pepper, red onion, and avocado. This colorful mix brings great flavor and texture to your wraps.

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

      Mix Everything Together: Pour the dressing over the chicken and veggie mixture. Gently fold everything together until all ingredients are well coated with the dressing.

        Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.

          Assemble the Wraps: Lay out a tortilla (or lettuce leaf). Spoon a generous amount of the chicken salad mixture onto the center of the tortilla.

            Wrap It Up: Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up from the bottom, tucking in the sides as you go to secure the filling inside.

              Serve: Cut the wraps in half on a diagonal and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro. These can be enjoyed cold or at room temperature.
