# Steps:

01 - In a mixing bowl, combine chicken strips with olive oil, chili powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
02 - Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Grill the chicken strips for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
03 - In a medium bowl, gently toss diced mango, sliced avocado, red onion, bell pepper, cilantro, and lime juice. Add a pinch of salt to taste if desired.
04 - Heat each tortilla in a dry skillet or microwave for about 20 seconds until soft and pliable.
05 - Arrange shredded lettuce along the center of each tortilla. Top with grilled chicken strips and spoon the mango-avocado mixture over the chicken. Add salsa if desired.
06 - Fold the sides of each tortilla inward and roll tightly from the bottom to enclose the filling.
07 - For a crispy finish, place assembled burritos seam-side down in a hot skillet and toast for 1 to 2 minutes until the exterior is lightly browned.
