Southwest Chicken Wraps: Picnic Food
Yesterday I shared some ideas on how to Plan a Picnic, today we kick off the start of several days of Picnic Food. Wraps are quick, easy and most of the time can be made ahead and assembled just before you pack your picnic.
The inspiration for these Southwest Chicken Wraps came from Bobby Flay’s new cookbook…Burgers, Fries & Shakes. We added the very easy rub to chicken breasts, and grilled them.

Pack these quick and easy Southwest Chicken Wraps for your next picnic. Recipe from HoosierHomemade.com
Ingredients
- 2-3 chicken breasts, boneless, skinless {depending on the number of people you are serving}
- 1 1/2 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves
- Wraps…we used Flatout Flatbread Light Original
- Coleslaw mix {found in the produce section} or you could add a lettuce mix
- Dressing…we mixed sour cream with Pico de Gallo
Instructions
- Mix chili powder, salt and cumin.
- Rub chicken, wrap with plastic wrap and place in fridge for about 1 hour. Not any longer, I learned during a recent trip to Walmart Headquarters while talking to a Corporate Chef, that if you marinate chicken too long, it becomes tough.
- Fire up the grill and cook the chicken, 5-6 minutes of indirect heat on one side and 3-4 minutes on the other side.
- Let set 5-10 minutes.
- Slice on the diagonal.
- Sprinkle with cilantro.
