SPICY YOGURT SAUCE
1 clove garlic
1/4 tsp salt
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 c non-fat or low fat plain yogurt
1 to 1 1/2 Tbsp taco or fajita seasoning
LIME CHICKEN MIXTURE
1 1/2 lb skinless, boneless chicken breast, cubed
1/8 c red wine vinegar
1/2 lime, juiced
1 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 tsp salt
2 green onions, chopped
2 clove garlic, minced
5 Tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
10 6 inch flour tortillas
EXTRAS
1 tomato, diced
shredded lettuce
mexican blend shredded cheese
2-3 limes, quartered

Steps:

1. To make Spicy Yogurt Sauce, with a large knife press garlic and salt together until a smooth paste forms. Place in a small bowl with olive oil; mix well. Stir in yogurt and taco seasoning. Cover; chill 30 minutes before serving.
2. Saute chicken in a medium saucepan over medium high heat for about 20 minutes. Add vinegar, lime juice, sugar, salt, pepper, green onion, garlic and cilantro. Simmer for an extra 10 minutes.
3. Heat an iron skillet over medium heat. Place a tortilla in the pan, warm, and turn over to heat the other side. Repeat with remaining tortillas. An alternate way of heating the tortillas in the oven: wrap the ten tortillas in foil and place in 150 degree oven until warm, approximately 10-15 minutes.
4. Serve lime chicken mixture in warm tortillas topped with tomato, lettuce, cheese and spicy yogurt sauce. We like to add the juice of one lime quarter on each of our tacos after it is put together.
