Servings: 8 tacos
Calories: 264kcal
Ingredients
- 500 g ground chicken
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 8 small flour tortillas
- ⅔ cup marinara
- 8 slices mozarella cheese
- 6 basil leaves
- 4 handfuls fresh arugula
- ½ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix the ground chicken with garlic powder, oregano, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper until combined.
- Spread a thin, even layer of the seasoned chicken onto the back of each tortilla, pressing down firmly to stick.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a small amount of avocado oil. Place the tortillas chicken-side down and cook until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip the tortillas carefully, spoon a bit of marinara sauce over the cooked chicken, then add mozzarella cheese, and cover the pan to let the cheese melt while the tortilla crisps on the bottom. This will take 1-2 minutes.
- Once the cheese is melted and bubbly, remove from the skillet.
- Top each taco with fresh basil, a handful of arugula (can toss in avocado oil, salt, and pepper and massage beforehand), and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese.
- Fold, bite, and prepare to fall in love.
