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)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, arrowroot starch, psyllium husk powder, and sea salt.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Top each cooked huarache with shredded chicken, sliced avocado, chopped tomatoes, cilantro, red onion, and jalapeño slices if using.

Step 6

Serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.

Step 7

Enjoy your Paleo Huarache while it's warm!
