My Big Fat Greek Low Carb Chicken Tacos filled with tender marinated chicken and all of the traditional Greek Salad fixins’ make for a perfect weeknight meal!!
Happy Wednesday!! Hope you had a great 4th! We spent it in our backyard swimming, balling and of course, good eatin’ with family!! Great times were had but now it’s back to the grind. I’m headed to Indianapolis as we speak but I’m enjoying My Big Fat Greek Low Carb Chicken Tacos on the road. Let me tell you, as a Tex Mex foodie lover, I have never met a taco that I didn’t like and My Big Fat Greek Low Carb Chicken Tacos are no exception. If you’re a taco lover like me, you must try my Corned Beef Tacos and my Filet Mignon Tacos too!
I’ve been really wanting to give the Siete Almond Flour Tortillas a try since I’ve been Paleo and Gluten Free lately. I love their Sea Salt Tortilla Chips so I thought their freezer stored almond flour tortillas would be a hit. Boy was I right! You can’t even tell that they’re almond flour based. They held up nicely to my marinated chicken and delicious Greek fixins’. Be sure to leave off the feta and taziki to keep Paleo. I love that My Big Fat Greek Tacos are ready in under 30 minutes after you’ve marinated the chicken thighs overnight. This makes it a perfect weeknight meal for the entire family.
Today marks Page 186 of 365. We are halfway through the year and I’m still thankful and grateful to God for 2017 – The Year of Fabulous Outpourings from Heaven!!! Although I’ve experienced more challenges this year, I am still in great expectation that this is my year to receive exactly what God has in store for me. I continue to thank Him for my very own personal rain of Blessing. Thank You that it rains on me, Father God!! 2017 has been declared as the year to see many miracles and manifestations because of the outpouring from Heaven! I’m certainly in great expectation for my miracle. How about you?

Great recipe, I love greek salad and haveing it on the tacos is a great idea. But I do love cheese so the feta will be there for me.
Thanks Laura!! I absolutely adore feta and taziki so I keep it on too! I’m half paleo, half gluten free if that makes any sense. 🙂
Hah! I love this recipe title. And Greek food is one of my favorites so this style of taco sounds awesome!

These tacos look delicious! I love that you used pepperoncini juice in the marinade – that is one of my husband’s favorite flavors of all time!
Thanks Kristine!! I love the added kick from the juice.
