Introduction

This is my lightened version of Chili's new margarita chicken tacos. Packed with chicken, veggies and beans, serving them on whole wheat, low carb tortillas gives you excellent nutrition. Each taco is very large and has only about 200 calories but boasts over 10 grams of fiber and 22 grams of protein while only having 5 grams of fat.

To make it even easier, use a 12.5 oz. can of chunked chicken breast and frozen diced peppers and onions (I use Pictsweet). This is my lightened version of Chili's new margarita chicken tacos.
