Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoons Mild Tasting Oil (see notes below)
  • 1 Cup Onion chopped
  • 3 Tablespoons Taco Seasoning I used my low carb taco seasoning
  • 1 Lb Ground Chicken
  • 8 Ounce Can of Tomato Sauce
  • 1 1/2 Teaspoons Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 2 Teaspoons Kosher Salt
  • 1/2 Teaspoons Black Pepper

Instructions

  • Add veggie oil (2 tablespoons) to a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Once shimmering, add chopped onions (1 cup) and cook until it softens -- about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in taco seasoning (3 tablespoons) and toast these spices until they become fragrant -- about 2 minutes.
  • Add ground chicken (1 Lb) and cook until it browns, breaking up with the back of your spoon as you cook.
  • Add tomato sauce (8 Ounces), vinegar (1 1/2 teaspoons), salt (2 teaspoons) and black pepper (1/2 teaspoons) and cook uncovered for about 10 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your liking.
  • Serve with tortillas and your favorite toppings, and enjoy!

Notes

  • Mild Tasting Oil. You want an oil with a high smoke point and mild flavor -- think avocado, vegetable, safflower, sunflower, peanut. Skip EVOO, coconut, or sesame oil.
