When it comes to choosing the right tortilla for your wraps, whole wheat tortillas stand out as a healthier alternative to traditional white tortillas. Whole wheat tortillas are made from whole grain flour, which means they retain the bran, germ, and endosperm of the wheat grain. This results in a higher fiber content, which is beneficial for digestion and can help you feel fuller for longer. Fiber also plays a crucial role in stabilizing blood sugar levels, making whole wheat tortillas a more suitable option for those managing their carbohydrate intake.

Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie works great!)

1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed

1/2 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand)

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

4 large whole wheat tortillas

1 cup corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)

1 cup diced bell peppers (mix of colors for vibrancy)

1 avocado, sliced

1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or pepper jack)

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Prep the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, black beans, BBQ sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until everything is well coated.

    Heat the Filling: In a skillet over medium heat, add the chicken mixture and corn. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until heated through, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

      Prepare the Tortillas: Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side or microwave them for about 10-15 seconds to make them pliable.

        Assemble the Wraps: Lay a warmed tortilla on a flat surface. Place a generous scoop of the chicken and black bean mixture in the center. Add some diced bell peppers, a few slices of avocado, and a sprinkle of cheese.

          Wrap It Up: Fold the sides of the tortilla inward and then roll from the bottom up to create a tight wrap. Secure with a toothpick if needed.

            Finish and Serve: Optional – for an extra crispy wrap, place the assembled wraps back in the skillet seam-side down and grill them for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Serve warm, garnished with fresh cilantro and lime wedges.
