Step 1

Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips and set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

Return the chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Add lime juice and toss everything together to combine well.

Step 8

Warm the whole wheat tortillas according to package instructions.

Step 9

To assemble the burritos, spread a spoonful of non-fat Greek yogurt down the center of each tortilla. Top with a portion of the chicken and vegetable mixture.

Sprinkle fresh cilantro leaves over the top.

Step 11

Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it up tightly from the bottom.
