3/4 cup chunky bottled salsa
2 tbsp minced fresh cilantro
2 tbsp fresh lime juice
1 lb skinless, boneless chicken breasts, diced into 1/2-inch pieces
1 tbsp fresh lime juice
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp black pepper
4 tsp olive oil, divided
2 garlic cloves, minced
4 (8-inch) flour tortillas
