Gluten-Free Chicken Tacos

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (you can use leftover grilled chicken or rotisserie chicken)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic,
  • Gluten-free taco seasoning (store-bought or use the homemade mix below)
  • Corn tortillas (make sure they’re marked gluten-free)
  • Fresh lime wedges, for serving

For the Homemade Gluten-Free Taco Seasoning (if needed):

  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt to taste

Taco Toppings:

  • Shredded lettuce or cabbage
  • Diced tomatoes
  • Diced avocados or guacamole
  • Sliced jalapeños
  • Shredded cheese (gluten-free)
  • Gluten-free salsa or hot sauce
  • Sour cream (ensure it’s gluten-free)
  • Chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions:

  1. If using homemade taco seasoning, mix all the seasoning ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and garlic, and sauté until fragrant and translucent.
  3. Add the shredded chicken to the skillet and sprinkle with taco seasoning (to taste). Cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is well-coated with the seasoning and heated through.
  4. In another skillet or on a griddle, warm the corn tortillas on each side until soft and slightly charred.
  5. Assemble the tacos by placing the seasoned chicken on each tortilla, followed by your choice of toppings: lettuce, tomatoes, avocados, jalapeños, cheese, salsa, sour cream, and cilantro. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top for added flavor.
  6. Serve the gluten-free chicken tacos immediately with additional lime wedges on the side.
