Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pieces low-carb tortillas
- 4 leaves romaine lettuce
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 large avocado
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 cup cilantro
- 1 large lime
Instructions
Start by trimming and slicing the chicken breasts into thin strips.
In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken strips to the bowl and mix well to ensure the chicken is fully coated with the spices.
Preheat a skillet over medium heat. When hot, add the spiced chicken strips to the skillet and cook for about 7-8 minutes, or until the chicken is browned and cooked through. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the vegetables. Dice the avocado, halve the cherry tomatoes, and chop the cilantro leaves. Cut the lime into wedges for serving.
Warm the low-carb tortillas by placing them on a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side, or until they are pliable.
To assemble the tortillas, lay a piece of romaine lettuce on each tortilla. Add a generous scoop of the cooked chicken on top.
Top the chicken with a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of cheddar cheese, and some diced avocado and cherry tomatoes.
Garnish each tortilla with chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice.
Fold the tortillas to enclose the filling and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious low-carb chicken tortillas!
