Ingredients

Scale

3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
2 ripe avocados
4 medium flour tortillas
2 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice
1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup salsa
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

Instructions

Preheat skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper; sauté for about 6-8 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked.
Dice cooked chicken and combine with black beans, diced avocados, lime juice, salsa, and cheese in a mixing bowl.
In a separate dry skillet over low heat, warm tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
Lay tortillas flat, spoon filling along one edge, fold in sides, and roll tightly from bottom to top.
Place seam-side down in the skillet for an additional 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown.
