Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 whole Avocado
- 1 whole Lime
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
Instructions
Start by preparing the chicken. Cut the chicken breast into small, bite-sized pieces.
In a medium bowl, mix together the olive oil, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Add the chicken pieces to the bowl, tossing well to ensure they are fully coated with the seasoning.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and slightly browned. Remove from heat and set aside.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Divide the shredded mozzarella cheese into four equal portions. Place each portion into a circle on the prepared baking sheet, spreading the cheese evenly to form a thin layer.
Bake the cheese circles in the oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until the edges begin to brown and the cheese appears bubbly.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cheese circles to cool for about 1 minute until they are firm enough to handle.
Gently lift each cheese circle and drape it over the handle of a wooden spoon or a similar object to cool into a taco shell shape. Set aside.
Prepare the toppings by mashing the avocado in a small bowl. Squeeze in the juice of the lime and mix well. Chop the fresh cilantro for garnish.
To assemble the tacos, fill each cheese shell with the cooked chicken. Top with a dollop of avocado mixture, a spoonful of sour cream, and sprinkle with cilantro.
Serve immediately and enjoy your keto-friendly soft chicken tacos!
