Steps

1. 1

   With flameproof tongs, quickly char the tortillas on both sides over an open flame or toast them under a broiler. To maintain their warmth, cover the tortillas with a kitchen towel.

2. 2

   Begin by placing shredded chicken, black beans, and salsa in a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap before microwaving on high until the mixture is heated evenly, which should take approximately 3 minutes. Finally, add cilantro to the hot mixture and give it a good stir.

3. 3

   Place the tortillas flat on a clean work surface. Divide the chicken mixture into four equal portions and spread each portion over the bottom third of a tortilla. Layer lettuce, cheese, and yogurt on top of the chicken. Fold the sides of the tortilla towards the center over the filling, then roll up tightly to seal everything inside. Present and enjoy your wraps promptly.
