Recipe: Soft Chicken Tacos (South Beach Diet recipe)

Misc.
SOFT CHICKEN TACOS

4 (6 ounces each) boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil, divided use
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 medium garlic cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 red bell peppers, cut into thin strips
6 (8-inch) whole-wheat tortillas
1/2 cup salsa
1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 lime, cut into 8 wedges (for serving)

Arrange chicken snugly in baking dish or resealable bag. In small bowl, whisk 2 tablespoons oil, lime juice, garlic, salt and black pepper. Pour marinade over chicken and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes.

Heat grill or grill pan to medium-high. Grill chicken until cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to plate, cover loosely and keep warm.

Brush bell peppers with remaining 1 teaspoon oil and grill until softened and lightly charred, about 5 minutes. Transfer to plate, cover loosely and keep warm.

Grill tortillas in batches to make pliable, about 20 to 30 seconds per side. Cut each tortilla into quarters and place on a serving platter.

TO SERVE:
Thinly slice chicken; set aside. In bowl, combine salsa and sour cream. Spoon a heaping teaspoon of salsa mixture on each tortilla quarter. Divide chicken and peppers among tortillas and sprinkle with cilantro. Serve warm with lime wedges.

Makes 8 tacos
