Ingredients

Scale

½ tsp chili powder
½ tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder

¼ tsp salt
3 tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp chipotle pepper in adobo, minced
4 large tortillas
1 cup uncooked rice
1 small red bell pepper, diced
1 jalapeño, diced
½ red onion, sliced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp olive oil
¾ cup corn kernels

1½ Tbsp honey
½1 Tbsp chipotle peppers in adobo, minced
1 Tbsp lime juice
3 Tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
12 Tbsp water

Instructions

  1. Dice chicken. Marinate in lime juice, 3 tbsp olive oil, chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, ¼ tsp salt, and 1 tbsp minced chipotle for 15+ mins. Cook rice per package.
  2. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Cook marinated chicken in a skillet over medium heat until done, 10-12 mins. Remove.
  3. In same skillet, add 1 tsp oil. Sauté bell pepper, onion, and jalapeño for 5 mins. Add minced garlic, cook 1 min. Add corn, beans, and cooked chicken back to warm. Remove from heat.
  4. Mix sauce: sour cream, honey, ½-1 tbsp chipotle, 1 tbsp lime juice, cilantro, water, and ¼ tsp salt until smooth.
  5. Assemble wraps: On each tortilla, layer rice, chicken mixture, cotija cheese, and sauce. Fold sides in and roll tightly.
  6. Place wraps seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 mins until tortillas are golden and crisp.

Notes

  • For meal prep, store filling, rice, and sauce separately for up to 4 days. Assemble and bake fresh.
  • Substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream in the sauce for a lighter option.
  • Ensure tortillas are warm before assembling to prevent cracking.
  • Adjust chipotle amount in sauce to control heat level.
