Time 30m

Yield 8 wraps

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, shredded
2 (1 1/4 ounce) packets taco seasoning
1 cup rice, prepared as per package directions
1 cup frozen corn
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup picante sauce (thick and chunky works best, but you can use whatever you like)
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
8 large tortillas (I like the jalepeno and cheddar ones)

Steps:

  • In a skillet, combine the chicken and one package of the taco seasoning and prepare as you would tacos, doubling the amount of water. Add the corn and bring to a boil.
  • In a large bowl, combine the sour cream, mayo, cheese, and the other packet of taco seasoning. Mix it up well, then add the rice and the picante sauce.
  • As soon as the liquid in the chicken mixture is absorbed, add it to the bowl WHILE IT IS STILL HOT. Mix it all together, and spoon into tortilla shells and wrap them up.
