# Directions:

01 - Combine sliced chicken breasts with olive oil, chili powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Toss until evenly coated.
02 - Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until golden brown and thoroughly cooked. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
03 - In a medium mixing bowl, gently combine diced mango, sliced avocado, red onion, red bell pepper, cilantro, and lime juice. Season with a pinch of salt, if needed.
04 - Heat flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for 20 to 30 seconds, until soft and pliable.
05 - Place a layer of shredded lettuce down the center of each tortilla. Arrange grilled chicken strips on top, followed by a generous spoonful of the mango avocado mixture. Add salsa, if desired.
06 - Fold the sides of the tortilla inward and roll tightly from the bottom to enclose the filling.
07 - Serve immediately, or for extra crispness, cook burritos seam-side down in a hot skillet for 1 to 2 minutes.
