This Ancho Chicken Wrap combines the seasons freshest produce with coriander, white pepper and ancho seasoned chicken thighs. This wrap is a cinch to make. These beauties are perfect for lunch at home or a picnic on the go! You can also omit the chicken for a vegetarian treat (that’s what I did and it was A-mazing). There is nothing better than fresh ingredients. Sometimes recipes have so many spices and ingredients to help boost the flavor of the produce going in but when you have fresh, ripe ingredients all you need is a little salt and pepper baby! 
Of course, the chicken was very well seasoned with fresh ground white pepper, coriander, ancho chile and a pinch of cayenne for some bite. Add some homemade baked fries, simple olive oil chips or a nice big pickle to this handheld meal or enjoy it all on its own – I sure did!
