Preparation

Step 1

Spray a large, non-stick skillet with cooking spray. Add chicken, onions, green pepper, and garlic. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until chicken is no longer pink, about 7-8 minutes. Drain off any liquid.
Add 1 cup tomatoes, carrot, ketchup, chili powder, vinegar, brown sugar, cumin, and pepper to chicken. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. If mixture is too saucy, simmer uncovered for a few more minutes, until most of the liquid has evaporated. Remove from heat.
To assemble tacos, place one lettuce leaf in center of tortilla. Spoon 1/8 of chicken mixture over top. Sprinkle some of the cheese and the remaining tomatoes over chicken, followed by a dollop of sour cream. Roll up bottom of tortilla.
