- 1 tbsp Simply Organic Cumin
- 2 tsp Gustus Vitae Granulated Garlic
- 1 tsp Gustus Vitae Onion Powder
- 1 tsp Gustus Vitae Oregano
- 1 tsp Gustus Vitae 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!
