Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 Lime
- 8 leaves Lettuce leaves (Romaine or Iceberg)
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 1 Avocado
- 0.25 cup Cilantro
Instructions
Start by slicing the chicken breasts into thin strips for quick and even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Add the sliced chicken to the spice mixture and toss until all pieces are evenly coated.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken to the skillet, ensuring it is spread out in a single layer.
Cook the chicken for 7-8 minutes, occasionally stirring, until it is fully cooked and no longer pink.
While the chicken is cooking, cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice over the cooked chicken. Stir well to incorporate the fresh lime juice.
Prepare the taco setup by laying out the lettuce leaves. These will serve as the taco shells.
Once the chicken is fully cooked, remove it from heat and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
To assemble the tacos, place a portion of the cooked chicken on each lettuce leaf.
Top the chicken with shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and slices of avocado.
Garnish each taco with fresh cilantro leaves.
Serve immediately and enjoy your keto-friendly chicken tacos.
