Dietician Tip

This dish can be made meatless by replacing chicken with black beans, or other beans of your choice.

Directions

In a large bowl, combine lime juice, garlic, chili powder and ground cumin. Add the chicken slices. Stir until the chicken is well coated. Marinate for 15 minutes.

In a pan on the grill or over medium-high heat on the stovetop, cook chicken for about 3 minutes, or until it’s no longer pink.

Stir in the onions and peppers. Cook 3 to 5 minutes, or until the chicken and veggies are done to your liking.

Chicken is cooked safely when it reaches 165 degrees.

Divide the mixture evenly among the tortillas. Top each with 2 teaspoons of salsa, 2 teaspoons of sour cream and 2 teaspoons of shredded cheese.

Roll up the tortillas and serve.
