Step 4: Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the pan and allow it to rest for 5 minutes, then use two forks to shred into rough chunks.

Step 5: Assemble your tacos by adding chicken and desired toppings to tortillas or lettuce leaves. Squeeze lime juice over tacos and serve.

Feel free to add any of your other favorite toppings as well! Sliced avocado, shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, or cilantro are just a few of my favorites.

Choosing your tortillas

The nutritional information for this recipe includes standard low-carb tortillas, which is where most of the sodium comes from. Whenever possible, I recommend buying low-sodium, low-carb tortillas, which will lower the sodium per serving even further.

Want to have complete control over your ingredients? Just whip up a batch of your own homemade keto tortillas! You can even omit the added salt if you prefer.

Of course, you can always keep it simple by swapping out tortillas for crunchy lettuce wraps. A good, sturdy lettuce that doesn’t have a strong flavor like iceberg or butter lettuce will be your best bet.

Storage

You may find yourself with leftover chicken or slaw. These make great leftovers to enjoy later in the week!

You can store any extras in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for two days. When you’re ready to eat, reheat the chicken in the oven, top with the slaw straight from the fridge, and enjoy.
