12 oz chicken breast 1/2 cup orange juice 1/4 cup cilantro 1 tsp lime peel 2 Tbsp lime juice 1 jalapeno pepper 3 cloves garlic 1/8 tsp salt 1/8 tsp black pepper 2 tsp cooking oil 1 medium red bell pepper 1 cup corn, whole kernel frozen 1 1/2 tsp cornstarch 8 medium corn tortillas 1/2 cup sour cream, light or fat-free

Recipe Tip: Marinate 1 to 2 hours.

1. Place chicken in a plastic bag set in a shallow dish. For marinade, in a small bowl combine orange juice, cilantro, lime peel, lime juice, jalapeno pepper, garlic, salt, and black pepper. Pour over chicken; seal bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours, turning bag occasionally.

2. Drain chicken, reserving marinade. In a large nonstick skillet heat oil over medium-high heat. Add sweet pepper strips; cook and stir until crisp-tender. Remove sweet pepper strips.

3. Add chicken to skillet. Cook and stir for 3 to 4 minutes or until chicken is tender and no longer pink. Stir in corn; heat through. Combine the marinade and cornstarch; add to chicken mixture. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir for 2 minutes more. Return sweet pepper strips to skillet; stir to combine.

4. Wrap tortillas in microwave-safe paper towels. Microwave on 100% power (high) for 45 to 60 seconds or until warm. Divide the chicken mixture among tortillas and top with sour cream. Fold the tortillas over chicken mixture.
