Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 ½ tsp ground parsley
  • 1 tsp ground basil
  • 6 almond flour tortillas
  • ¾ cup Daylight Veggie Pasta Sauce
  • 6 oz goat mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 1 cup Arugula
  • 1 tbsp Pecorino romano sub grated parmesan

Instructions

  • Combine the ground chicken with the salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder, and ground parsley and basil. Gently mix the ground chicken, just enough to incorporate the seasonings.
  • Lay out the 6 tortillas on a clean surface and add roughly 2.5 oz of raw chicken to each tortilla. Press the chicken down with a fork in a thin even layer in the center of the tortilla. Repeat with all 6 tortillas.
  • Using a large pan set to medium heat that's lightly greased (alternatively you can do this on a blackstone or a griddle) add the taco meat side down. Allow to cook for about 3 minutes before flipping. The meat should be visibly cooked and lightly crisp. Insert a meat thermometer to check for 165 F.
  • Add about 2 tbsp of sauce on top of the meat, and about 1 oz of shredded cheese. Reduce the heat to low and add a lid over the pan, covering for 2-3 minutes to allow the cheese to melt. Repeat the process with all of the tortillas.
  • Serve topped with arugula and pecorino cheese and fold in half into a taco to serve!

Notes

    • If you have access to a larger surface like a blackstone or griddle, it will speed up the process!
    • I love adding balsamic glaze on top as well!
    • You can easily make these dairy-free by omitting the cheese altogether, or using my AIP mozzarella cheese.
