Chicken Tacos with Lime and Watermelon
This time-saver taco makes use of rotisserie chicken and wheat tortillas, which are both easy to find at grocery stores. Taste layers are built up with sweated onions and strips of watermelon bathed in lime, while sour cream smooths it all out. The radish is the exclamation mark, as in wow!
