Directions
In a large bowl, mix lime juice, garlic, chili powder, and ground cumin. Add the chicken slices. Stir until the chicken is well coated. Soak for 15 minutes.
In a skillet on the grill or over medium heat on the stove, cook the chicken for about 3 minutes, or until no longer pink.
Stir in onions and peppers. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until chicken and vegetables are cooked to your liking.

Divide the mixture evenly between the tortillas. Top each with 2 teaspoons sauce, 2 teaspoons sour cream, and 2 teaspoons grated cheese.
Roll the tortilla and serve.
