Ingredients:

12 ounces chicken breast

2 teaspoons canola oil
1 cup chopped red onion
1 cup fresh corn kernels (about 2 cobs)
1 cup chopped zucchini
1/2 cup salsa
3 Tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, divided
4 (8-inch) fat-free flour tortillas
cooking spray
1 cup shredded Pepper Jack cheese
4 Tablespoons reduced-fat sour cream
