Ingredients
- 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 Lime
- 8 leaves Lettuce leaves (Romaine or Iceberg)
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 1 Avocado
- 0.25 cup Cilantro
Directions
Step 1
Start by slicing the chicken breasts into thin strips for quick and even cooking.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Add the sliced chicken to the spice mixture and toss until all pieces are evenly coated.
Step 4
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken to the skillet, ensuring it is spread out in a single layer.
Step 5
Cook the chicken for 7-8 minutes, occasionally stirring, until it is fully cooked and no longer pink.
Step 6
While the chicken is cooking, cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice over the cooked chicken. Stir well to incorporate the fresh lime juice.
Step 7
Prepare the taco setup by laying out the lettuce leaves. These will serve as the taco shells.
Step 8
Once the chicken is fully cooked, remove it from heat and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
Step 9
To assemble the tacos, place a portion of the cooked chicken on each lettuce leaf.
Step 10
Top the chicken with shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and slices of avocado.
Step 11
Garnish each taco with fresh cilantro leaves.
Step 12
Serve immediately and enjoy your keto-friendly chicken tacos.
