Southwestern Chicken Wraps

From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...I had some bean dip leftover from yesterday's featured post, and because refrigerator space is at a premium this week, I wanted to finish it up so I wold have room for some other dishes that need chilling. The dip has a decidedly southwestern flavor, so I thought it would make a fabulous base for sandwich wraps that would also have a southwestern flair. I had some leftover chicken that I paired with corn and black beans for my off-the-cuff experiment. The combination proved to make a great filling for the wraps, and, better still, they came together in about 15 minutes. Here is how I made them.
