Equipment

  • Cast Iron Skillet or nonstick skillet

Ingredients
  

Tortillas

  • 8 pieces Cassava Flour Tortillas Brands such as Siete Foods and Rise & Puff are recommended.

Filling Ingredients

  • 2 cups Shredded Chicken
  • 0.5 cup Diced Bell Pepper
  • 0.33 cup Diced Red Onion
  • 0.25 cup Mayo Primal Kitchen avocado oil mayo is used.
  • 3 tablespoons Lime Juice Fresh squeezed is best!
  • 2 tablespoons Chopped Cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon Chili Powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Start by adding all filling ingredients into a large bowl. Mix together with a stiff spatula or spoon.
  • Place a cast iron skillet or nonstick skillet on a medium heat burner. Spray with avocado oil or olive oil to prevent sticking. (It's important to preheat the skillet.)
  • To prepare the tortillas, warm up two at a time on a damp paper towel in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds.
  • Fill each warm tortilla with a large spoonful of the chicken filling. Tightly roll the tortilla up so the filling does not spill out the side.
  • Repeat the process until all tortillas are in the skillet. Flip after about 5 minutes or when they're golden brown. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes or until both sides are golden brown.
  • Serve over a bed of fresh romaine lettuce with guacamole and salsa.

Notes

Nutrition facts will vary depending on what tortillas you use. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about 2-3 days. Reheat in an air fryer or microwave.
