Notes
- Top with low-carb vegetables: I like to add toppings like lettuce, tomato, avocado, and salsa for a low-carb and flavorful taco experience.
- When shredding the pork, trim any visible fat from the pork before shredding it will decrease the overall fat content.
- Choose low-fat toppings: Opt for low-fat toppings like salsa, pico de gallo, and light sour cream to keep the crispy Air fryer tacos content low. Use less oil.
- Substitute lwo carb tortillas: I like to replace the corn tortillas with low-carb tortillas made with cauliflower or coconut flour. These are readily available in most grocery stores or online.
- Choose lean pork: Opt for a lean cut of pork like pork tenderloin or sirloin to reduce the fat content.
