Ingredients

  1. 1/4 cup lime juice
  2. 1 or 2 cloves garlic, minced
  3. 1 teaspoon chili powder
  4. 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  5. 3 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut in 1/4-inch strips
  6. 1 large onion, sliced
  7. Half a green bell pepper, slivered
  8. Half a red bell pepper, slivered
  9. 12 low-fat, whole-wheat 8-inch tortillas
  10. 1/2 cup salsa
  11. 1/2 cup fat-free sour cream
  12. 1/2 cup low-fat shredded cheddar cheese

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.
