Best Chicken Taco Recipe....So Far

As most of you know, I seriously love Mexican food. I'm always trying new recipes. Tonight's was super yummy. I completely forgot to take pictures of it because it smelled so good, I couldn't even wait to eat it! You know it's good when my kids gobble it up too! Here's the recipe.

Ingredients:
1 pound lean ground chicken breast
1/2 diced green bell pepper
1/2 of a small onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 tablespoon chili powder 

1/2 teaspoon coriander
8 low carb tortillas (60 calories each tortilla)
1 Avocado
2 teaspoons lime juice
Shredded lettuce (about 1-2 cups)
1 medium diced tomato
Cilantro (1 tablespoon chopped roughly per person)
2 diced green onions

Instructions:
Spray a large non-stick pan with olive oil cooking spray that has been preheated over medium heat. Add the green peppers, red onion, and 2 cloves of the garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes. Add the ground chicken and the black pepper, cumin, chili powder, and coriander. Break up the meat until it's cooked through. If it seems a little dry, add 1/4 cup of water as it's cooking. 


Mash the avocado up in a small bowl, add the last garlic clove, and the lime juice. Stir until combined.

Distribute the meat mixture evenly among the tortillas. Do the same with the avocado mixture. Top with lettuce, tomato, cilantro, and green onions. Enjoy!
