I love this recipe and could eat these every day.  Seriously.

1 chicken breast (grilled)
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp lime juice
1 tbsp salsa
1/4 cup grated cheddar (skim, preferably)
1/2 cup shredded lettuce or bagged slaw mix
2 whole wheat flour tortillas
1 tbsp light sour cream (optional)
1/4 tsp of ground cayenne pepper (optional)

Slice the warm chicken breast. and place in a medium mixing bowl.  Add the lime juice and toss the chicken in the lime.  Add the cumin and chili powder (and optional cayenne pepper) and toss until the chicken is well coated.  Spread 1/2 of the sour cream on each of the whole wheat tortillas.  Place 1/2 of the chicken on each and top with the lettuce or slaw mix, cheese, and salsa.

Remember that adding cayenne adds considerable kick.  If you don't like spicy food, skip the cayenne pepper.

Serve with water, and you've got a great-tasting, lean meal.
