Ingredients

For these wraps I rely on fresh, vibrant ingredients that each play a distinct role. The chicken provides lean protein and a canvas for the Southwest spice blend. Crunchy bell pepper, sweet corn, and black beans add texture and a touch of natural sweetness, while red onion contributes a mild bite. The avocado‑ranch sauce brings creaminess and a hint of tang, and the tortillas hold everything together in a handheld package.
