19 - 1 medium tomato, sliced

# How-To Steps:
01 - In a mixing bowl, combine parsley, cilantro, oregano, garlic, shallot, red pepper flakes, olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon zest and juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly and set aside.
02 - Place chicken breasts in a shallow dish. Add 3 tablespoons of chimichurri sauce and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Turn to coat evenly, cover, and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes or up to 2 hours.
03 - Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade and cook for 6 to 7 minutes per side until golden and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F. Allow to rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly.
04 - Warm the tortillas. Spread a spoonful of chimichurri sauce down the center of each tortilla. Layer with salad greens, cucumber, tomato, red onion, sliced chicken, and avocado if using. Drizzle with additional chimichurri sauce.
05 - Roll each tortilla tightly, folding in the sides as you go. Slice in half and serve immediately.
