Ingredients
- 2 tbsp avocado or olive oil
- 1/2 cup diced red or orange bell pepper
- 1/2 cup diced green bell pepper
- 1/2 cup onion, chopped
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tsp chili powder
- 2 tsp cumin

- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/4 cup chicken stock
- 1 tsp corn or potato starch adjust for desired sauce thickness
- 12 gluten-free corn tortillas
- cilantro, lime, diced avocado for serving
Instructions
- Heat oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add diced bell peppers and onion. Saute until veggies are tender.
- Add ground chicken, minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, pepper and cayenne pepper to the pan. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally and breaking chicken apart completely so there aren't any large chunks.
- In a small bowl, make a slurry by mixing the corn/potato starch with the chicken stock. Add slurry to the pan and simmer until the sauce thickens a bit.
- Assemble tacos with chicken, diced avocado, cilantro and lime wedges on the side. For extra crunch, you can also add shredded lettuce or your favorite slaw.
