Tips and Tricks:
-
For added flavor, consider marinating the chicken in the taco seasoning and lime juice for a longer period before cooking.
-
Customize your tacos by adding your favorite toppings such as salsa, guacamole, or chopped cilantro.
-
If you prefer a healthier option, you can bake the tacos in the oven instead of frying them. Simply brush the assembled tacos with oil and bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 10-12 minutes or until crispy.

Crispy Low-Carb Tacos
Ingredients:
-
1 large chicken breast, chopped small
-
1 small onion, chopped
-
5 cloves of garlic, chopped
-
Juice of 1 lime
-
1 tablespoons of taco seasoning
-
Guerrero Carb Watch flour tortillas https://www.inflcr.co/SHILy
-
1 to 2 cups of vegetable or avocado oil (for frying)
-
Lettuce, tomato, cheese, and avocado (for taco fillings)
-
Crema (for topping)
Directions:
-
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of oil.
-
Add the chopped chicken, onions, and garlic to the skillet.
-
Saute until the chicken is browned and golden, and the onions are translucent.
-
Sprinkle the taco seasoning evenly over the chicken mixture.
-
Squeeze the juice of one lime over the seasoned chicken.
-
Stir well to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.
-
Allow the chicken to marinate in the seasoning for 5-6 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
-
Continue cooking until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
-
Heat another pan with high sides and add vegetable or avocado oil.
-
Using tongs, carefully fold the tacos into a taco shape, securing the filling inside.
-
Gently place the folded tacos into the hot oil.The ideal temperature for deep frying is typically between 350°F (175°C) and 375°F (190°C). This temperature range allows the food to cook evenly and develop a crispy exterior while ensuring that the inside is cooked through. It’s important to maintain a consistent temperature throughout the frying process to achieve the best results. Using a deep-fry thermometer can help you accurately monitor the oil temperature and adjust the heat as needed.
-
Fry for about 5 minutes on each side, or until the tacos become golden and crispy.
-
Once the tacos are golden and crispy, remove them from the oil using tongs.
-
Drain any excess oil by placing the tacos on paper towels.
-
Repeat the frying process for the remaining tacos.
-
Now it’s time to build your tacos! Fill each crispy taco shell with the chicken mixture, cheese, lettuce, tomato, avocado, and any other desired fillings.
-
Top with a dollop of crema for a creamy finishing touch.
