Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup coconut flour
- 0.25 cup arrowroot starch
- 2 tablespoons psyllium husk powder
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 2 tomatoes, chopped
- 0.25 cup cilantro, chopped
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
- 0.5 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 jalapeño, sliced (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, arrowroot starch, psyllium husk powder, and sea salt.
Slowly add the warm water to the dry ingredients, stirring as you go, until a dough forms. The dough should be pliable but not sticky.
Divide the dough into four equal portions. Form each portion into an oval shape, about 1/4-inch thick, to resemble the traditional huarache shape.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, cook each huarache dough piece for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Top each cooked huarache with shredded chicken, sliced avocado, chopped tomatoes, cilantro, red onion, and jalapeño slices if using.
Serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
Enjoy your Paleo Huarache while it's warm!
