Tacos are a beloved Mexican dish that have become increasingly popular around the world in recent years. Traditional tacos are made with corn tortillas, which are high in carbohydrates. However, for those following a ketogenic diet, corn tortillas are not an option. That's where these keto tacos come in. These tacos use lettuce leaves or low-carb tortillas as the base, which are both low in carbohydrates and high in fiber. The grilled chicken is a lean protein source, and the avocado crema and salsa add flavor and nutrients to the tacos. These keto tacos are a delicious and satisfying way to enjoy a Mexican classic without sacrificing your diet.

Why It Works
  • The avocado crema is made with avocado, sour cream, lime juice, cilantro, salt, and pepper. The avocado adds a creamy richness to the crema, while the sour cream adds a tangy flavor. The lime juice brightens up the crema and the cilantro adds a fresh, herbaceous flavor. The salt and pepper season the crema to perfection.
  • The salsa is made with tomatoes, onions, cilantro, jalapeños, and lime juice. The tomatoes add a juicy sweetness to the salsa, while the onions add a bit of crunch. The cilantro adds a fresh, herbaceous flavor and the jalapeños add a bit of heat. The lime juice brightens up the salsa and brings all of the flavors together.
  • The grilled chicken is a lean protein source and is cooked to perfection on a grill. The chicken is seasoned with salt and pepper to enhance its flavor.
  • The lettuce leaves or low-carb tortillas provide a sturdy base for the tacos and add a bit of extra fiber to the meal.
