1/3 cup fresh corn kernels, cooked
1/3 cup black beans, drained and rinsed

8 (12-inch) whole wheat tortillas

Directions:

  • Whisk together mayo, sour cream, and Tabasco in a large bowl.
  • Add in chicken, onion, cilantro, corn, beans, and green chilies. Toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Heat large non-stick skillet over medium heat for 1 minute. Spray with Pam cooking spray.
  • Place 1 tortilla in skillet and sprinkle with 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese. Scoop 3/4 cup chicken mixture evenly over cheese.
  • Place another tortilla on top and press together with a large spatula. Spray top of tortilla with Pam.
  • Cook about 4 minutes. Then using large spatula, carefully flip over. Cook another 4 minutes, until both sides are golden brown.
