Place a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, mix with the olive oil spray. Add the chicken and sprinkle iwth the seasoning. Cook, breaking the chicken into large chunks, until no loner pink. Remove from the heat.
Unroll the warmed tortillas. Place a tortilla on a plate and spread 2 tsp of the sour cream in a 3" side strip down the center. Spoon one-fourth of the chicken over the sour cream, followed by one-fourth of the cheese, 1/4c of the lettuce, 1/4c of the tomatoes, and 1 tbsp of the taco sauce. Fold the tortilla in half to form a taco. Repeat with the remaining ingredients and serve.
