- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- ¼ tsp salt
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 Tbsp chipotle pepper in adobo
Wrap Components
- 4 large tortillas
- 1 cup uncooked rice
- 1 small red bell pepper Chopped
- 1 jalapeño Chopped
- ½ red onion sliced
- 3 cloves garlic Minced
- 1 tsp olive oil
- ¾ cup corn kernels
- 1 cup black beans

Instructions
Preparation
- Marinate the diced chicken in lime juice, olive oil, seasonings, and chipotle for at least 15 minutes.
- Cook rice according to package instructions.
Cooking
- Sauté marinated chicken in a skillet over medium heat until cooked through (12–15 minutes).
- In the same skillet, sauté chopped peppers and onions until tender; then add garlic and the cooked chicken back to warm through.
Assembly
- Assemble wraps by layering rice, chicken mixture, beans, corn, cheese, and sauce on each tortilla.
- Roll tightly like a burrito and serve immediately.
Notes
Serve warm for the best flavor. Pairs well with salsa or guacamole. For deeper flavor, let the chicken marinate longer; a few hours or even overnight is great. You can switch out the chicken for shrimp or grilled vegetables for a vegetarian option.
