  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Cook Time: 15 minutes
  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 wraps 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons fajita seasoning
  • 1 cup cooked corn kernels
  • 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
  • Salsa and sour cream for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken (5 minutes): In a bowl, toss chicken thighs with olive oil and fajita seasoning until well-coated.
  2. Grill the Chicken (10 minutes): Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill chicken thighs for about 5 minutes per side or until fully cooked through. Once done, slice them into thin strips.
  3. Assemble the Wraps (5 minutes): Lay out a tortilla and place an even amount of chicken, corn, beans, lettuce, and cheddar cheese in the center.
  4. Grill the Wraps (5 minutes): Fold the tortilla over the filling, tucking in the sides as you roll. Place the wrapped tortilla on the grill and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until it’s golden brown and crispy.
  5. Serve (1 minute): Remove from the grill, cut in half if desired, and serve immediately with salsa and sour cream on the side.

Notes

Make sure your grill is properly heated to achieve those perfect grill marks on your chicken and wraps. If you’re not a fan of cheddar, pepper jack cheese can add a spicy kick. As for sides, this wrap pairs wonderfully with a side of guacamole or a fresh tomato salad. Lastly, a cold beverage like iced tea or a sparkling water with lime can round out this meal. Enjoy!

Pair this with...

Guacamole

Start with ripe avocados - when you give them a gentle squeeze, they should have a little give, but not feel mushy. Halve and pit them, scooping out their green goodness into a bowl. Now, add the juice of a fresh lime. This brightens the flavor and helps keep that vibrant green color. Toss in a finely chopped small red onion, a minced clove of garlic, a small diced tomato, and maybe a deseeded and diced jalapeño if you're in the mood for some heat. A handful of chopped cilantro leaves adds that distinct freshness, but if you're not a fan, it's okay to skip it. Sprinkle in some salt, and then mash everything together. You can use a fork or a potato masher, depending on how chunky you like your guacamole. Give it a taste and adjust the seasonings as needed. Serve it up with tortilla chips or as a side to pretty much anything.

Homemade Tortilla Chips

Grab some store-bought corn tortillas and cut each one into 6 or 8 wedges. Heat up about an inch of vegetable or canola oil in a large frying pan until it's shimmering, but not smoking. Carefully drop the tortilla wedges into the hot oil in batches, so they don't overlap. Fry them until they're golden brown, which will take about 2-3 minutes per side. Once they're perfectly crispy, use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. While they're still warm, sprinkle a bit of salt over the top. There you go!

Homemade Salsa

To start, grab about 5 ripe tomatoes. You want them juicy but firm. Dice them up and toss them into a mixing bowl. Add a finely chopped red onion for some bite and crunch. Now, for that classic spicy kick, chop up a jalapeño (or two if you're brave). Remember, the seeds and white parts are the spiciest, so adjust to your liking. Squeeze the juice of a lime over your mixture for that zesty zing. Toss in a good handful of freshly chopped cilantro; it gives salsa its signature flavor. Sprinkle in some salt and give everything a good stir. If you've got a garlic clove lying around, mince it and mix it in for an extra layer of flavor. Let it sit for a bit to let the flavors meld together and enjoy!
