Keto Avocado Tacos

Keto Avocado Tacos

Ingredients:

For the avocado tacos:

  • 2 large avocados, ripe but firm
  • 1 cup cooked and shredded chicken (seasoned with keto-friendly spices)
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the taco shells:

  • 2 large lettuce leaves (such as iceberg or butter lettuce) per taco
  • Alternatively, you can use small low-carb tortillas if desired

Optional toppings:

  • Sour cream
  • Sliced jalapeños
  • Shredded cheese
  • Hot sauce

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the avocado filling:
    • Cut the avocados in half and remove the pits. Scoop out some of the flesh to create a small well in the center of each avocado half.
    • In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken, diced tomatoes, diced red onion, chopped cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Adjust the seasoning to your taste.
    • Gently fold the chicken mixture together to ensure even distribution of flavors.
  2. Prepare the taco shells:
    • Wash and dry the lettuce leaves. These will serve as your taco shells.
    • If you’re using lettuce leaves, place a generous amount of the avocado chicken mixture into the center of each lettuce leaf.
  3. Assemble the tacos:
    • If you’re using small low-carb tortillas, place the avocado chicken mixture onto each tortilla and fold them in half.
  4. Add optional toppings:
    • If desired, you can add a dollop of sour cream, some sliced jalapeños, shredded cheese, or hot sauce on top of the avocado chicken mixture.
  5. Serve immediately and enjoy your keto avocado tacos!
