Are you looking for more quick, yet healthy, dinner options during your busy week? One of the most helpful tips I can give is to repurpose leftover cooked meat to pull together different dishes. I often use leftovers from my Herbs de Province Slow Cook Chicken recipe to use for these tacos.

Notes
I love the cassava flour tortilla recipe from thepaleomom.com. You can also skip the tortillas and serve this over a bed of fresh salad greens. Top with sprouts or micro greens for an extra nutrient punch.
For my family, these Otto’s Naturals cassava flour tortillas make these quick fix tacos a special treat. I usually use the recipe from The Paleo Mom and they always turn out tasty.
Another family favorite; Siete brand almond flour tortillas.
Or simply serve this dish over a bed of fresh salad greens and omit the tortillas.
