Serves: 4
Ingredients:
1 tbsp olive oil
3 chicken breasts
Sour cream for topping
1 tbsp taco seasoning (substitute with chili powder if you prefer)
½ red pepper, sliced
½ yellow pepper, sliced
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup red cabbage, sliced
Pico de Gallo (Salsa)
1 cup plum tomatoes, diced
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1 small yellow onion, finely diced
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp lime juice
Directions:
1. Slice chicken breasts in half lengthwise and coat in olive oil and taco seasoning (or chili powder). Add olive oil to a large pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken breasts and cook for at least 6-7 minutes on each side or until they are cooked through. Remove pan from the stove and place to one side.
2. While the chicken rests, mix the ingredients for your Pico de Gallo. Simply combine them together and stir. Following this, slice ½ red pepper, ½ yellow pepper, and 1 cup of red cabbage. When chicken breasts have cooled slightly, cut them into bitesize cubes or strips.
3. Take Keto Tortillas and heat according to instructions or enjoy cold. Lie tortillas flat, add chicken, veggies, and Pico De Gallo to each one and top with soured cream (optional). Fold the tortilla so that your chicken, veggies, and salsa are encased and wrapped tightly, then enjoy at your leisure! They taste amazing.
