- ½ teaspoon garlic salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup black beans drained and rinsed
- 1 cup corn can use canned (drained or rinsed) or fresh (cooked)
- 1 tomato diced

- Prepare the beans, corn, tomato, and romaine leaves.
- Combine the jalapeno, Greek yogurt, dill, cilantro, garlic, lime juice, and salt in blender and blend until smooth.
- Prepare the wraps by loading up the romaine leaves with some chicken, beans, corn, and tomatoes. Drizzle on the jalapeno sauce to taste.
- Store the leftovers in separate containers in the fridge for 3-4 days, and enjoy when desired.
