Carrot Tacos

Ingredients

• 100 g carrot (finely grated and squeezed to remove excess water)
• 70 g egg white (about 2 egg whites)
• salt (to taste)
• 50 g chicken breast (cooked and cut into strips; estimated quantity for the filling shown)
• 30 g yogurt sauce (for serving; the source lists it as an alternative filling)
• 20 g salad greens (finely chopped)
• 30 g avocado (sliced; indicated by the source as an alternative together with yogurt sauce, chicken, and salad)

Steps

1. 1

   Finely grate the carrot. Wrap it in a clean kitchen towel or squeeze it with your hands to remove as much water as possible; this helps the base hold together during cooking.

2. 2

   Transfer the carrot to a bowl and add the egg white and a pinch of salt. Mix until you have a uniform, moist mixture.

3. 3

   Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Divide the mixture into two portions and spread them into very thin discs, similar to tortillas; firmly compact the edges with the back of a spoon.

4. 4

   Bake in a preheated oven at 200 °C for approximately 10-12 minutes, until the bases are dry and lightly golden around the edges. The times are estimated because the source does not specify the cooking method.

5. 5

   Meanwhile, cook the chicken breast in a nonstick skillet until completely cooked through in the center, with no pink areas remaining, then cut it into strips.

6. 6

   Let the carrot bases cool briefly, then lift them from the parchment paper and gently fold them in half to form the tacos.

7. 7

   Fill the tacos with the yogurt sauce, chicken, and salad greens. Alternatively, use yogurt sauce, chicken, avocado, and salad greens according to the source's suggestion.

8. 8

   Serve immediately, while the bases are still warm and the filling is fresh.
