Southwestern Chicken Wraps
This Southwestern Chicken Wrap is one of the simplest recipes that I have ever made. I use pesto rosso, some leftover white rice, and chicken, and a can of black beans.
Also, I chopped up some green onion & cilantro.
Then, all that's left to do is just roll up the tortilla for a quick and easy lunch made in under 30 minutes.
