3 organic boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tbsp. expeller pressed grapeseed oil
2 organic onions - cut into 1/4 inch slices
2 organic bell peppers - cut into 1/4 inch slices
2 tbsp. organic extra virgin coconut oil
12-14 organic whole wheat tortillas
Cilantro Cream Sauce:

1/3 cup organic buttermilk

Put the first 9 ingredients of the sauce into a blender and blend
well. Add the chives and cilantro and blend for about 10 seconds.
Pour into a jar and let sit in the refrigerator.
Prep grill. Put chicken into a bowl and coat with grapeseed oil.
Cook on grill until done. This will depend on the size of the chicken
breasts, but usually about 15 minutes.
Take chicken off and place on a cutting board and cover.
Let rest for about 10 minutes.
Saute onions and peppers lightly in coconut oil, just until the onions get slightly soft. Then slice the chicken into 1/2 inch strips and mix with the
onions and peppers.
Place a small amount of chicken mixture into tortillas and drizzle with
sauce. Enjoy!
Tips: This sauce can be used for cold chicken pasta salad, a dip for
carrots fries or zucchini chips/sticks or even just a side salad.
