Ingredients

Taco Seasoning:

1 tbsp Frontier Ground Chipotle
1 tbsp Paprika
1 tbsp Simply Organic Cumin
2 tsp Granulated Garlic
1 tsp Onion Powder
1 tsp Oregano
1 tsp Smoked Sea Salt
1/2 tsp Simply Organic Black Pepper
1/4 tsp Frontier Cayenne

Marinade (if using chicken instead of jackfruit):

1/3 cup California Olive Ranch Olive Oil
1 tbsp Homemade Smokey Chipotle Keto Taco Seasoning (See recipe above)
2 Limes , juiced
1 tsp Coconut Secret Coconut Aminos

For the Tacos:

6 Paleo Wraps
1 Package Upton Naturals Vegan Chili Lime Jackfruit Carnitas (OR 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts)
1 tbsp California Gold Nutrition Coconut Oil

Taco Toppings:

1/2 cup Frontera Jalapeno Cilantro Salsa
1 cup guacamole
2 cups shredded cabbage or lettuce (for topping)
1 bunch Fresh Cilantro

Instructions

For the Homemade Taco Seasoning:

Place all of the spices in an airtight jar and shake to mix. Use in marinades, sprinkle over ground beef or use as a dry rub. Store in the cabinet for later use.

For Chicken Taco Filling with Marinade:

You can marinate the chicken for a richer flavor, but if you don't have time to marinate, you slice the chicken into strips, then use the taco seasoning as a dry rub for the chicken breast and pan fry it with coconut oil.
To marinate the chicken, slice 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts into small strips and place into a bowl or tupperware container.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Add 1 tbsp of coconut oil to a pan on medium heat then add the chicken strips. Allow them to cook through (about 7-10 minutes).

For the Vegan Chili Lime Jackfruit Carnitas

Since the upton natural brand has already pre-marinated the jackfruit, all you have to do is cook it!
Add 1 tbsp of coconut oil to a pan on medium heat, then add the entire contents of the jackfruit package into the pan. Cook just enough to heat it evenly (about 5-10 minutes).

Assembling the Chipotle Lime Vegan Keto Tacos:

Heat up the tortillas by placing 1-2 at a time on a skillet on medium heat for about 30-60 seconds on each side.
Place some of the chicken or jackfruit on the tortilla (or both! they are both low-carb!). Then top with your preferred toppings such as guacamole, salsa, cilantro, cabbage, lettuce or onions. Enjoy!
