Ingredients

• 2 pieces (about 6 oz each) Boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 4 pieces Whole wheat tortillas
• 1 cup Fresh corn kernels
• 1 medium-sized, diced Red bell pepper
• 1 can (15 oz, drained and rinsed) Black beans
• 1 large, diced Avocado
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.25 cup, chopped Cilantro
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Low-fat Greek yogurt

Directions

Step 1

Begin by slicing the chicken breasts into thin strips.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine lime juice, olive oil, cumin powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken strips and toss to coat. Let the chicken marinate while you prepare the other ingredients.

Step 3

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the chicken strips. Cook for about 7-8 minutes until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the corn kernels and red bell pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened.

Step 5

In a separate large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, corn, red bell pepper, black beans, avocado, and chopped cilantro.

Step 6

Spread a thin layer of low-fat Greek yogurt over each whole wheat tortilla.

Step 7

Place about one-quarter of the chicken and vegetable mixture on one side of each tortilla. Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling to form a roll.

Step 8

Slice each roll in half and serve immediately.
