Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix avocado oil, apple cider vinegar, Chipotle Tabasco, Tajin seasoning, garlic powder and onion powder. Place this mixture and the chicken into a one-gallon plastic freezer bag and place in the refrigerator to marinate overnight (or desired length of time).
- When ready to cook chicken, heat grill to medium-high heat and place on grill for approximately 10 minutes or until the chicken reaches 165°. Remove from grill and let rest.
- In a medium-size bowl combine egg whites, coconut flour, baking powder and garlic powder and mix until smooth.
- While stirring, slowly add water to mixture until the consistency is thin.
- Use cooking spray to lightly oil a small skillet over medium heat.
- Using a spoon or measuring cup, pour some of the tortilla batter into the skillet and quickly tilt to spread the mixture out (make these as thin as you can).
- Cook until the underside of the tortilla begins to turn light brown and flip to cook the other side.
- Remove cooked tortilla and set aside. Repeat steps 6-8 until all tortillas have been cooked.
- Assemble tacos by filling a tortilla with desired amount of chicken, guacamole, sour cream and cilantro and serve immediately.
Recipe Notes
Many low-carb taco recipes call for egg whites by separating eggs; however, through trial and error we have found that cartons of liquid egg whites will make your tortilla shells hold together much better!
