    | 1. Start marinading the chicken the day before. To do so, mix the lime juice, liquid smoke, pepper, cumin, paprika, and minced garlic. Pour in a zip lock bag (I double-bag it) and add the chicken breasts. I leave the limes in the zip loc bag as well, for more lime flavor. Place in the refridgerator overnight. | 2. Drain excess marinade from chicken. Grill chicken breasts. | 3. While the chicken is on the grill (I use a George Foreman, and I have even broiled the chicken -- still tasts wonderful), combine sour cream, salsa, dill, and cajun spice. | 4. Turn the broiler on in the oven. | 5. Heat oil in a frying pan. | 6. When oil is hot, add the tortilla strips. If your pan is not big enough, you may need to do this in batches. Fry strips for 3-4 minutes, until golden brown and crispy. | 7. Drain on paper towels. | 8. When chicken is done, put chicken on an oven pan. Spoon the sour cream/salsa mixture on the chicken breasts evenly. | 9. Add cheese on top of the mixture. | 10. Put chicken breasts under the broiler for 3-5 minutes, in order to get the cheese nice and bubbly, and heat the sour cream mixture through. | 11. Put four beds of tortilla strips on a serving platter, or on four individual plates. | 12. Place chicken breasts on top of the tortilla strips. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
