- 1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar or cider vinegar
- Cooked Chicken cut in squares (about 8 ounces)
- 4 8-inch whole-wheat tortillas

Tips & Notes
- Tip: To remove corn kernels from the cob, stand an ear of corn on one end and slice the kernels off with a sharp knife. One ear will yield about 1/2 cup kernels.
