Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 250 g Chicken breast (boneless, skinless, pounded thin)
- 1 tsp Taco seasoning
- Salt (to taste)
Vegetables & Toppings
- 100 g Lettuce, washed and sliced
- 150 g Tomato, sliced
- 100 g Red cabbage, shredded
- 1/2 Small avocado, sliced
Sauces & Cheese
- 4 tbsp Chipotle sauce
- 50 g Mozzarella cheese, shredded
Other
- 4 Low carb flour tortillas
Instructions
- Preheat Grill: Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat to ensure a good sear on the chicken.
- Season Chicken: Season the chicken breasts evenly with salt and taco seasoning, ensuring flavorful meat.
- Grill Chicken: Place the chicken on the grill and cook until fully cooked through and grill marks appear on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove from grill and let rest for a few minutes.
- Slice Chicken: After resting, slice the chicken breasts into thin strips for easy filling into the burritos.
- Prepare Vegetables: Wash and slice the lettuce, tomato, red cabbage, and avocado to prepare fresh and crisp fillings.
- Warm Tortillas: Heat the flour tortillas on the grill or in a dry skillet until warm and pliable, making them easier to roll.
- Spread Chipotle Sauce: Generously spread approximately 1 tablespoon (12.5g) of chipotle sauce on each tortilla for a smoky, spicy flavor base.
- Assemble Burritos: Layer sliced grilled chicken, lettuce, tomato, red cabbage, avocado slices, and shredded mozzarella cheese onto each tortilla.
- Roll Burritos: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll tightly from one end to form a burrito shape.
- Optional Toasting: Place the assembled burritos back on the grill and toast for a few minutes on each side to melt the cheese slightly and crisp the tortilla.
- Serve: Serve the burritos warm with additional chipotle sauce on top if desired.
Notes
- You can substitute regular flour tortillas if low-carb options are unavailable.
- Adjust the amount of chipotle sauce to suit your preferred spice level.
- For extra flavor, marinate the chicken with taco seasoning and chipotle sauce for 30 minutes before grilling.
- Adding a squeeze of fresh lime juice inside the burrito enhances the freshness.
- Vegetarian variation: Replace chicken with grilled tofu or beans and omit mozzarella cheese for a vegan option.
