Ingredients

• 4 pieces large whole wheat tortillas
• 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
• 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 cup low-fat shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup diced tomatoes
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 0.5 cup red onion, finely diced
• 1 piece lime, juiced
• 1 teaspoon cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup Greek yogurt (optional, for dipping)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, black beans, diced tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly distribute the flavors.

Step 2

Lay a whole wheat tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread 1/4 of the chicken mixture evenly across the center of the tortilla, leaving about 1 inch of space from the edges.

Step 3

Sprinkle 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the chicken mixture.

Step 4

Carefully fold in the sides of the tortilla, then tightly roll it from the bottom to form a compact roll. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

Step 5

Heat a large non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Place the rolls seam side down in the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy.

Step 6

Remove the rolls from the pan and let them cool for 1-2 minutes before slicing in half, if desired.

Step 7

Serve warm with a side of Greek yogurt for dipping, if using, and enjoy your High Protein Tex-Mex Rolls!
