7Combine with salt and sour cream or yogurt in a jar with a tight-fitting lid.
8Shake well, and pour the dressing over the vegetables.
9Marinate the vegetables for 1 hour at room temperature.
10Place a large skillet over medium heat, and grill the tortillas for 30 seconds on a side to soften.
11To serve, divide the chicken among the tortillas, placing it at the center of the tortilla.
12Divide the vegetables and their dressing on top of the chicken, and roll the tortilla into a cylinder.
13Serve immediately; the dish should be at room temperature.
14Serves Note: the chicken breasts, vegetable mixture and dressing can all be prepared a day in advance.
15Do not marinate the vegetables for more than 1 hour.
16Cover with aluminum foil to reheat.
17Reheat the chicken in a 300f oven for 15 minutes.
