Paleo Chicken Tacos

Ingredients:
1 lb chicken thighs/beasts

seasoning
3 plum tomatoes
1/2 medium onion
1 tbsp chopped cilantro
Radicchio or iceberg lettuce for taco shells

Prep time:
15 minutes



Cook time: 30-40 minutes

Servings:

This one is relatively easy and I think it's really good. Start off by seasoning your chicken. I have my own taco seasoning that I use. 
Sauté your chicken on high for around 30-40 minutes.

While the chicken is cooking, I'll usually make salsa. Dice your tomatoes, onion, cilantro, and top with ground pepper if you'd like. your salsa is now done!

Ply a few leaves off your lettuce or radicchio, try not to rip them because they are delicate.

After the chicken is done cooking, set it to the side until its not super hot.

Then take your lettuce leaves and fill with chicken/salsa!
