- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Optional toppings:

Instructions:–
- Prepare the avocado filling:
- Cut the avocados in half and remove the pits. Scoop out some of the flesh to create a small well in the center of each avocado half.
- In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken, diced tomatoes, diced red onion, chopped cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Adjust the seasoning to your taste.
- Gently fold the chicken mixture together to ensure even distribution of flavors.
- Prepare the taco shells:
- Wash and dry the lettuce leaves. These will serve as your taco shells.
- If you’re using lettuce leaves, place a generous amount of the avocado chicken mixture into the center of each lettuce leaf.
- Assemble the tacos:
- If you’re using small low-carb tortillas, place the avocado chicken mixture onto each tortilla and fold them in half.
- Add optional toppings:
- If desired, you can add a dollop of sour cream, some sliced jalapeños, shredded cheese, or hot sauce on top of the avocado chicken mixture.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your keto avocado tacos!
