Makes 2 servings  ACTIVE TIME: 30 minutes  TOTAL TIME: 30 minutes

• 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

Directions:

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.
