Sliced chicken, tenderized in lime juice, combines with a spicy sour-cream sauce in this tasty wrap. Serve with Vinegary Coleslaw and Spiced Pinto Beans.

Makes 2 servings

ACTIVE TIME: 30 minutes

TOTAL TIME: 30 minutes

EASE OF PREPARATION: Easy

8 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breast, trimmed of fat
1 tablespoon lime juice
1/4 teaspoon salt, divided
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons reduced-fat sour cream
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh cilantro
Several dashes of hot sauce to taste
1/8 teaspoon ground cumin
1 small onion, thinly sliced
2 whole-wheat tortillas, heated (see Tip)
1/2 cup shredded lettuce
1 plum tomato, thinly sliced

1. Preheat broiler.
2. Place chicken in a shallow dish and sprinkle with lime juice, 1/8 teaspoon salt and pepper. Let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes.
3. Whisk sour cream, cilantro, hot sauce, cumin and the remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt in a small bowl.
4. Place the chicken and onion on a lightly oiled baking sheet and broil for 3 to 5 minutes. Turn the chicken over and stir the onion. Broil until the chicken is no longer pink in the middle, 3 to 5 minutes more. Transfer to a cutting board and cut into thin slices.
5. To assemble wraps: Place the tortillas on a work surface or plate. Top each with half of the chicken, onion, lettuce and tomato. Top each with half of the sour cream mixture and roll into wraps. Serve immediately.
