Santa Fe Chicken Salad

Santa Fe Chicken Salad Wraps are a delicious tex-mex twist to classic chicken salad. Chunks of chicken, black beans, fresh veggies, and corn are mixed with a creamy Santa Fe sauce and then wrapped up in a flour tortilla with shredded lettuce, tomatoes, and avocado slices. It's the best no oven dinner, easy lunch, and one of my favorite ways to use up a rotisserie chicken or leftover chicken.

Ingredients

Santa Fe Dressing

  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon chili powder
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon cumin

Chicken Salad

  • 3 cups chopped OR shredded cooked chicken (I use a rotisserie chicken)
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans drained & rinsed, patted dry
  • 1 can (15 oz) fire-roasted corn drained
  • 1 orange bell pepper finely chopped

Wraps

  • 8-10 large burrito style flour tortillas
  • halved cherry tomatoes
  • shredded lettuce
  • sliced avocado

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, stir together all of the creamy dressing ingredients until well combined.
    1/2 cup sour cream, 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, ½ teaspoon kosher salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, ¼ teaspoon chili powder, ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon cumin
  • Add in the chicken, black beans, corn, and chopped bell pepper. Stir everything together until it's well combined and all the ingredients are coated in the creamy sauce.
    3 cups chopped OR shredded cooked chicken, 1 can (15 oz) black beans, 1 can (15 oz) fire-roasted corn, 1 orange bell pepper
  • * At this point the chicken salad can be served right away, OR if you prefer a chilled chicken salad, cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap, and allow it to refrigerate for up to 4-6 hours before serving. This is great for a make-ahead dinner if needed.

Serving The Wraps

  • Lay a large burrito/wrap style flour tortilla onto a cutting board or plate. Place a heaping 1/2 cup of the Santa Fe chicken salad mixture onto the bottom half of the tortilla.
    Add some shredded lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, and avocado slices. Fold up burrito-style (fold in the sides and then roll it up tightly like a burrito). Cut in half and serve. Enjoy!

Notes

Nutrition Information : The information listed is for a heaping 1/2 cup serving of the chicken salad mixture. It does not include the wrap or other toppings as that will vary depending on what you use. 
Tips : I prefer this chicken salad chilled. I cover the bowl with a lid and refrigerate it for up to 2-6 hours before serving it. It makes for a great make-ahead dinner option that's ready to go when needed. I also think a rotisserie chicken works great in this recipe because it's easy, convenient, ready-to-use, and already seasoned well.
