Ingredients

  • 4 fillet(s) chicken, breast, boneless, skinless
    6 ounces each
  • 2 tablespoon oil, olive, extra-virgin
    plus 1 teaspoon
  • 2 whole lime(s)
  • 2 clove(s) garlic
    minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 pinch pepper, black ground
  • 3 medium pepper(s), red, bell
    cut in thin stips
  • 6 whole tortilla(s), flour, whole-wheat
    8-inch
  • 1/4 cup(s) sour cream, reduced-fat
  • 1/4 cup(s) cilantro, fresh
    chopped

Instructions

  • 1

    MAKE-AHEAD:Chicken and peppers can be grilled and refrigerated separately in covered containers up to 1 day ahead. Warm gently on stove top or in microwave before serving.

  • 2

    Arrange chicken snugly in a baking dish. Whisk together 2 tablespoons of the oil, 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice, garlic, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl; pour marinade over chicken and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

  • 3

    Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high. Remove chicken from marinade and grill until cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Discard remaining marinade. Transfer chicken to a plate, cover loosely, and keep warm.

  • 4

    Brush bell peppers with remaining 1 teaspoon oil and grill until softened and lightly charred, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate, cover loosely, and keep warm. Grill tortillas, in batches, to make pliable, about 30 seconds per side. Cut each tortilla into quarters.

  • 5

    Cut chicken crosswise on the bias to make 24 thin slices; cut slices in half, if desired. Arrange tortilla pieces on a serving platter. Spoon 1/2 teaspoon sour cream onto each tortilla quarter. Divide chicken, peppers, and cilantro among tortillas. Serve warm with 8 lime wedges.

  • Makes 8 servings. Each serving is 3 piece servings.
