Southwest Chicken Wraps

These delicious wraps are easy to make and I love how you can substitute or add any of your family’s favorite ingredients!

It’s about time I share these delicious wraps with you! They’ve been a family favorite for a couple of years now and each time I make them I think that I need to share them with you all!

They are definitely one of those recipes that appear in our menu a couple times a month. It’s quick and my husband and kids love them. I’ve even served them to company and they’ve always gotten rave reviews.

There’s a million reason my family loves these wraps. I love them because I can make them in less than half and hour (by planning ahead of course). I usually put these on the menu after I make a roasted chicken because the leftovers are perfect for these. Our kids love them as well and whenever they gobble up something quickly it’s a winner in my books.

Another reason these are so delicious is because you can make them to suit your family’s taste. If you don’t like beans, leave them out. If you love green chilies or hot peppers, add them. You could even substitute a different meat if you have other leftovers. Don’t be afraid to experiment with other ingredients!

Last time I made these I put them in the oven on a very low temperature and everyone loved how they got a little crispy. Usually I just make one for each of us and keep them in a covered dish so they stay warm but I’m thinking from now on I’ll make them crispy! So delicious!

Let me know if you try these, friends and thanks for stopping by today! Enjoy your weekend lots!
