Cheesy Southwestern Rotisserie Chicken Tortilla Wraps
and butterhead lettuce salad with citrus

Make
-
Heat oven to 375F / 190C degrees.
-
Heat a skillet or non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add cooking oil and then peppers to heated oil. Saute until soft, ~ 3 minutes. Add garlic, cumin, coriander and some salt and pepper. Saute for 1 minute more.
-
Add green onions, chicken, beans and salsa. Stir to combine.
-
Divide filling and cheese between tortillas by placing ingredients at the bottom of the tortilla. To enclose, fold bottom of the tortilla over filling. Then fold the sides and roll up as tightly as possible. (Note: If the tortillas are not pliable, microwave them for 20 to 30 seconds to soften.)
-
Place tortillas, seam-side down on a sheet pan and bake for 8 minutes.
-
While tortillas are baking, tear lettuce and slice oranges. Toss with half the vinaigrette and continue adding vinaigrette until dressed to your liking. Top salad with sliced almonds.
-
Serve tortilla wraps with some extra salsa. Enjoy salad on the side.
