Ingredients

  • 3 cups thinly sliced red cabbage

  • 1 cup matchstick carrots

  • ½ cup thinly sliced scallions

  • 4 tablespoons fresh lime juice, divided

  • 1 teaspoon salt, divided

  • ⅓ cup reduced-fat sour cream

  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro, plus more for garnish

  • 8 chicken tenders (about 1 pound)

  • 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 tablespoon chili powder

  • 8 (8 inch) corn tortillas, warmed

  • 1 jalapeño pepper, thinly sliced

  • Lime wedges, for serving

Directions

  1. Combine cabbage, carrots and scallions in a large bowl. Add 2 tablespoons lime juice and 1/2 teaspoon salt; toss to coat. Combine sour cream, cilantro and the remaining 2 tablespoons lime juice in a small bowl.

  2. Heat a grill pan over high heat. Brush chicken tenders evenly with oil; sprinkle with chili powder and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Coat the hot pan with cooking spray. Add the chicken to the pan; cook, turning occasionally, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part registers 165 degrees F, 7 to 8 minutes.

  3. Divide the chicken among warm tortillas. Top with the cabbage slaw, the lime crema and jalapeño slices. Garnish with cilantro and serve with lime wedges, if desired.
