Ingredients

• 1 pound chicken breast
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 12 pieces jicama wraps
• 1 as needed avocado oil spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Place the chicken breast in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Ensure the chicken is fully coated. Marinate for at least 10 minutes at room temperature.

Step 4

Heat a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken breast to the skillet. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through and no longer pink inside.

Step 5

Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes. Then, shred the chicken using two forks.

Step 6

Warm the jicama wraps in the microwave or steam them briefly to make them pliable.

Step 7

Place a small amount of shredded chicken onto each jicama wrap and roll them up tightly.

Step 8

Arrange the rolled taquitos seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Spray the tops of the taquitos lightly with avocado oil spray.

Step 9

Bake the taquitos in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until they are golden and crispy.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with your favorite Whole30 compliant dips or toppings.
