Cobb salad wraps with tomatoes, avocado and black beans

from Rose Reisman’s Family Favourites

Rose Reisman's Cobb Salad Wrap, healthy recipes for over-50 A cobb salad traditionally has loads of chicken, blue cheese, bacon and heavy dressing. I’ve lightened up this classic and tossed the main ingredients into a wrap. It’s delicious.

Serves 8

8 oz skinless boneless chicken breasts (about 2 breasts)
1/2 cup diced plum tomatoes
1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
1/2 cup diced ripe avocado
1/3 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
1/4 cup chopped parsley
4 tsp lemon juice
1 Tbsp low-fat sour cream
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 tsp finely chopped garlic
1/2 tsp hot chili sauce
pinch of salt and pepper
1/2 cup shredded aged light cheddar cheese
4 large whole wheat flour tortillas

1. Lightly coat a nonstick grill pan with vegetable spray and set over medium heat. Grill the chicken for 4 minutes on each side or until no longer pink. Cool slightly, then slice thinly.

2. Combine the tomatoes, red pepper, avocado, black beans, green onions and parsley in a large bowl. Add the lemon juice, sour cream, olive oil, garlic, chili sauce, salt and pepper and mix well.

3. Spread one-half of each of the tortillas with some of the tomato mixture. Top with slices of chicken and the shredded cheese. Fold in 2 sides and roll up. Place the wraps in a clean grill pan and cook for 5 minutes, turning halfway, just enough to warm through. (Or heat in a 400°F oven for 5 minutes until warm.) Cut in half and serve.
