Grilled Chicken Tacos

Grilled Chicken Tacos
Recipe Tip
Fiber Up With Beans
Black beans are loaded with fiber—the soluble kind that helps to lower blood cholesterol. Start slowly so you have time to get used to more fiber.
Purchasing
Read labels to find low fat tortillas. There are plenty of whole grain tortillas available, but not all of them are low in fat.
Variations
Feel free to take some liberties with this recipe. Use a grill pan to cook the chicken instead of a grill, and add other healthy toppings, such as lettuce and chopped tomatoes.

Grilled Chicken Tacos
This was VERY good and my family loved them. The only thing I did different, for time saving purposes, was I bought the Tyson brand already cooked chicken. I heated it a skillet with the chili rub mixture....came out great.

Awesome
I made this receipe for my husband and 4 year old. They both loved it. The bean salsa that you make is outstanding and I have even made it as a dip. Very simple and very delicious.

Millet vs. flour, etc.
I would like to see if this recipe can be made using Millet Flour Tortillas (for us wheat-sensitive folks), and either Rice Cheese, or Goat Cheese (for us lactose-intolerant folks).
