Ingredients

Instructions

In a small bowl, toss diced grilled chicken breast with olive oil, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Warm the black beans in a small saucepan until heated through. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
Lay each tortilla flat. In the center, layer half the chicken, half the beans, 1/4 cup Greek yogurt, 1/4 cup pico de gallo, 1/4 cup cheese, 1/2 cup lettuce, and half of the avocado slices per tortilla.
Fold in the sides, then roll up burrito-style, tucking in the fillings as you go.
Optionally, sear the wrapped burritos seam-side down in a hot skillet for 1-2 minutes to crisp the outside and seal.
Slice in half and serve immediately with extra salsa or Greek yogurt on the side.
