SOUTHWEST BBQ CHICKEN WRAPS

Steps:

CRISPY SOUTHWEST CHICKEN WRAPS

Steps:

• Mix rice together with chili powder, cumin and garlic salt. Add drained beans, green onions, sweet pepper, cilantro and lime juice. Sprinkle cheese over tortillas, leaving 1/2-inch border around edges, then arrange chicken and rice mixture down the center of each tortilla. (Adding a few dots of sour cream over the center ingredients at this point makes the wraps creamy. At this point you may, also, add a bit of salsa.) Roll the stuffed tortillas burrito style. Spray the tortillas all over with cooking spray.
• Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat for 1 minute. Arrange 2 wraps, seam-side down, in pan and cook until golden brown and crisp, about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining wraps. Serve with sour cream and salsa.
• An alternate cooking methed would be to spray as instructed (or lightly brush with vegetable oil) and place on a baking sheet in a preheated 400 degree oven. Bake until golden, about 20-30 minutes.

CRISPY SOUTHWEST CHICKEN WRAPS

Steps:

• Mix rice together with chili powder, cumin and garlic salt. Add remaining ingredients except for cheese and sour cream. Sprinkle cheese over tortillas, leaving 1/2-inch border around edges, then arrange chicken and rice mixture down the center of each tortilla. (Optional: I like to dollop little bits of sour cream over the cheese before arranging chicken and rice mixture down the center - it makes the wraps delightfully creamy.) Roll stuffed tortillas, leaving edges open and slightly flatten the wraps with the palm of your hand. Spray seam-side of the wrap lightly with cooking spray.
• Heat a large non-stick skillet (or griddle) over medium heat for 1 minute. Arrange wraps, seam-side down, in pan or griddle and cook until golden brown and crisp, about 2-3 minutes per side. Cooking them seam-side down first helps seal the long edge so they don't fall apart. Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining wraps. Serve warm.
