Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 5 ounces ground chicken
  • ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon salsa
  • 1 tablespoon ranch dressing
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ cup fresh spinach leaves
  • 1 (8-inch) flour tortilla
  • 2 tablespoons canned black beans -rinsed and drained
  • 4 cherry tomatoes sliced in half
  • 2 tablespoons shredded Monterey Jack cheese
US - Metric

Instructions

  • Heat the oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat for 30 seconds. Add the ground chicken, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink, about 5 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the salsa, ranch dressing, and cumin. Add the cooked chicken and stir until evenly coated.
  • Lay the tortilla flat and place the spinach in the center. Spoon the chicken mixture over the spinach, then top with black beans, tomatoes, and cheese.
  • Fold in the sides, roll the tortilla tightly, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Warm the Tortilla: Heat the tortilla briefly to make it flexible and easier to roll without tearing.
  • Shred Cheese from a Block: Freshly shredded cheese melts more smoothly than pre-shredded varieties, which often contain anti-caking agents.
  • Manage Moisture: Drain and rinse canned beans well to prevent excess moisture from making the wrap soggy.
  • Customize Thoughtfully: Use this recipe as a base and make simple swaps such as shredded chicken instead of ground chicken, adding avocado or bell peppers, or changing the cheese or sauce to suit your taste.
