15 Minute Crispy Tex-Mex Chicken Wraps

Alright, ladies and gentlemen, I am about to introduce you to the new superstar of your weekly meal plan…. (drumroll please)… Fifteen Minute Crispy Tex-Mex Chicken Wraps!! Sorry, I tend to get a little over-excited when we’re talking about food, especially if it’s good, easy-to-make food that my family will eat without complaint. Seriously, these wraps have it all — protein & veggies to keep Mom happy, and chicken tenders for the kids (because I am yet to meet a child who doesn’t go crazy for chicken tenders, no matter how you serve them). Plus they’re very versatile — you can add ingredients you love (avocado, anyone?) or leave out ones your kids won’t touch. While the chicken tenders help make these wraps so easy and kid-friendly, it’s the sauce that makes them so out-of-this-world-good.
This Tex-Mex Ranch Sauce is just three easy ingredients: ranch dressing, salsa (I prefer the Picante style rather than the chunky variety, but either will work) and a nice big spoonful of taco seasoning (make your own or buy it pre-made). This stuff is liquid gold — I like to make a little extra and then dip my wrap in it, too.

 RECIPE: Crispy Tex-Mex Chicken Wraps (serve 6) 

Ingredients:

• Tex-Mex Ranch Sauce:
• 1/3 cup ranch dressing
• 1/3 cup mild or medium salsa
• 1 Tablespoon reduced sodium taco seasoning

Wraps:

• 6 Flour tortillas (10-inch)
• 6 Romaine lettuce leaves
• 2 medium-large tomatoes, sliced into 12 slices
• 1/2 cup frozen sweet corn kernels – thawed
• 1/2 cup black beans — rinsed and drained
• 1 lb crispy chicken tenders — cooked according to package directions and chopped
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions:

1-Prepare your Tex-Mex Ranch Sauce by whisking together ranch dressing, salsa, and taco seasoning in a small bowl until completely combined. Set aside.

2-Warm your wraps in the microwave briefly (about 15-20 seconds) and lay each out on a clean work surface.

3-Spread about 1 Tablespoon of Tex-Mex Ranch Sauce in the bottom center of the tortilla (leaving about 2 inches of space around the edges of the tortilla).

4-Top with 1 leaf of lettuce, then two slices of tomato.

5-Sprinkle about 1 Tablespoon of corn and 1 Tablespoon of beans over the tomatoes (try to keep everything building up on top of the lettuce — it will make it easier to wrap the finished product) and then top with a handful of chicken (about 1/3 cup).

6-Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top (about 2-3 Tablespoons) and evenly drizzle remaining ranch sauce on top of chicken /cheese.

7-Fold the left and right side of each wrap inwards and then roll into a wrap. Secure with toothpicks, if needed.

8-Cut in half and serve.

9-Enjoy!
