Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 8 pieces low-carb tortillas
- 2 cups shredded lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 whole sliced avocado
- 0.25 cup chopped cilantro
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cup shredded cheese
- 4 pieces lime wedges
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Once the grill is hot, place the marinated chicken breasts on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. Then slice the chicken into thin strips.
Warm the low-carb tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side until they are slightly charred.
Assemble the tacos by placing sliced grilled chicken on each tortilla. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, and a sprinkle of cilantro.
Add a dollop of sour cream and some shredded cheese if desired.
Serve the tacos with lime wedges on the side for extra flavor.
