Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Chili powder
- 1 tsp Cumin
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 whole Lime
- 8 pieces Keto-friendly tortillas
- 1 whole Avocado
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
- 0.25 cup Sour cream
- 1 cup Shredded lettuce

Instructions
Begin by marinating the chicken. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.
Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over the chicken. Ensure the chicken is well coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the lime crema by mixing sour cream with the juice of half a lime. Stir well and set aside.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Once the chicken has marinated, place it on the grill. Grill each side for about 6-7 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
Warm the keto-friendly tortillas on the grill for about 1-2 minutes per side or until they are lightly charred and pliable.
Assemble the tacos by placing sliced chicken on the tortillas. Top with sliced avocado, lettuce, chopped cherry tomatoes, and jalapeño slices.
Drizzle with lime crema and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
