Tacos! That are delicious, Keto AND Whole30 friendly!

Whole30 + Keto Cilantro Lime Chicken Tacos
One of the best part of tacos is setting up the taco bar. I love a super simple taco.
For these tacos, I’ll roast up a batch of my cilantro lime chicken thighs that I chop up, a bowl of my spicy Mexican coleslaw, some chopped white onion, chopped cilantro, sliced jalapeños and wedges of fresh lime.
Best Keto Taco Wraps
I have a new favorite Whole30 + keto friendly taco wrap! The jicama wraps from Trader Joe’s! (Not sponsored, just sharing what I love!) They’re the perfect size, have a very neutral flavor so all you taste is the taco, and a slight crunch that make it feel like a crispy shell taco. Best part? Each jicama wrap is only .5g net carbs! The jicama wraps are in the refrigerated section by the prepped veggies at my Trader Joe’s.
Another great option is butter lettuce or romaine lettuce leaves. Both are very Whole30 + Keto friendly, and available at any grocery store.
You could also use a low carb tortilla. Trader Joe’s makes one, as does Mission. I personally don’t love these for tacos. They have a pretty strong “whole wheat” flavor that doesn’t really go with taco for me. I taste the tortilla way more than the taco filling. I like these low carb tortillas for quesadillas or a turkey lunch wrap much more, where I don’t mind the flavor of a whole wheat wrap.

These tacos were amazing! My whole family devoured them, and I loved that I pulled it together with so few ingredients. The flavors are so fresh yet complex. Absolutely will keep this in our rotation.

waiting for more good articles, I have read a lot about it and know how difficult it is
Omg these were so amazing!! Even my kids ate these. I’ve been stuck in a food rut,  but had a bunch of garden cilantro to use up. They were the perfect warm night meal and so easy to put together! It was 90 degrees today and these hit the spot!Â
That is fantastic that your kids enjoyed them too Lauren. That is such a mom win! So glad they helped you get out of your food rut. We’ve all been there.
MmmmmMmmmmm uhMAzing! Saw it, had all the ingredients, made it for supper, plus rice. My son and his girlfriend came over and they turned it into Chipotle-style burritos. I didn’t have the wraps you used, but that’s ok. Will be making again!! Thanks!
I’m so happy you liked my cilantro chicken tacos Jennie! Don’t you just love it when you find a recipe and you happen to have all the ingredients on hand? So glad your son and his girlfriend enjoyed them too!Â
DELISH!! I follow the recipe to a T. The whole family loved it. Funny thing, I bought the Jicama wraps the day before you published the recipe!! I served the tacos with cilantro rice and beans on the side.
