Shredded rotisserie chicken or flaked, cooked fish also works well in these tacos.

2 limes, quartered
1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro

1 tablespoon minced seeded jalapeño pepper
12 (6-inch) corn tortillas
3/4 cup chopped peeled tomato
1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream
1/2 cup chopped green onions

Bring to a boil; cook 2 minutes. Add shrimp; cook 2 minutes or until done. Drain. Discard cheesecloth bag and lime quarters.
Combine shrimp, cilantro, lime juice, and jalapeño pepper, tossing well to coat. Heat tortillas according to package directions. Spoon 1/3 cup shrimp mixture into each tortilla; top each taco with 1 tablespoon tomato, 2 teaspoons sour cream, and 2 teaspoons onions.
