Instructions
  1. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, lemon peel, 4 garlic cloves, oregano, salt and pepper. Add the fish, chicken or beans; seal bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate for 30 minutes up to 2 hours.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cabbage, onion, red pepper, cheese, olives and parsley; set aside.
  3. Place the yogurt (or sour cream), cucumber, dill, coriander and remaining garlic and salt in a food processor or blender; cover and process until blended.
  4. Drain fish or chicken and discard marinade. (IF USING BEANS LEAVE THEM IN MARINADE - NO NEED TO COOK) Moisten a paper towel with cooking oil; using long-handled tongs, lightly coat the grill rack. Grill fish, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 3-4 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Grill chicken for 5-6 minutes per side depending on size of breasts or broil for same timeframe. Let rest before slicing.
  5. Place a portion of fish (or chicken or beans) on each tortilla; top with cabbage mixture and sauce.
