Ingredients

  • 2 lbs boneless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup smoky BBQ sauce
  • 12 street taco
  • sized flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup chopped red onions
  • 1 cup pico de gallo
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • Lime wedges for garnish
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then place them in a large bowl.
  2. Pour the smoky BBQ sauce over the chicken and mix well to ensure even coating. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.
  3. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium high heat. Grill the chicken breasts until fully cooked, about 6 8 minutes per side. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  4. Warm the flour tortillas on the grill for about 15 seconds each side, just enough to add a touch of smoky char flavor. Keep them warm while you assemble the tacos.
  5. Slice the chicken into thin strips and place a generous portion onto each tortilla.
  6. Top with shredded cheddar cheese, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, chopped red onions, pico de gallo, and sour cream.
  7. Fold the tacos and serve immediately with lime wedges for an extra burst of flavor.

Chef’s Insight

To add an extra smoky flavor, consider using mesquite wood chips when grilling the chicken.

Notes

Make sure to let the marinated chicken rest after cooking to prevent any raw flavors from persisting.
