Scale
- 0.75 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- ¼ cup lime juice

- 4 large tortillas
- 1 cup uncooked rice
- 1 small red bell pepper, diced
- ¾ cup corn kernels
- 1 cup black beans

Instructions
- Marinade the Chicken: In a shallow bowl, mix together the lime juice, chili powder, and chipotle pepper in adobo. Toss in the chicken breasts and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium heat, drizzle it with olive oil, and add the marinated chicken breasts. Cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked.
- Prep the Rice: While the chicken cooks, prepare your rice according to package instructions.
- Chop Your Veggies: Dice the red bell pepper while keeping an eye on the chicken.
- Mix It All Up: Once cooked, let the chicken rest, then slice it into strips. In a bowl, combine the chicken, cooked rice, corn, black beans, and bell pepper.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay out tortillas, spoon the filling onto each, sprinkle with cotija cheese, then roll them tightly.
- Serve and Enjoy: Slice the wraps in half, serve with lime wedges and your favorite dipping sauce.
