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

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts in the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.

Step 3

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 4

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).

Step 5

Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. Then slice the chicken into thin strips.

Step 6

Warm the low-carb tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side until they are slightly charred.

Step 7

Assemble the tacos by placing sliced grilled chicken on each tortilla. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, and a sprinkle of cilantro.

Step 8

Add a dollop of sour cream and some shredded cheese if desired.

Step 9

Serve the tacos with lime wedges on the side for extra flavor.
