Ingredients:
For the Chicken:
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs), diced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon black pepper
For the Garlic Butter Honey BBQ Sauce:
2 tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup BBQ sauce
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
For Serving:
6 small tortillas (flour or corn)
½ cup shredded lettuce
½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
¼ cup diced red onion
¼ cup chopped cilantro
Lime wedges, for serving
Directions:
Season the Chicken – In a bowl, toss diced chicken with smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and olive oil.
Cook the Chicken – Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and fully cooked. Remove and set aside.
Make the Garlic Butter Honey BBQ Sauce – In the same skillet, melt butter, then add garlic. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in BBQ sauce, honey, Worcestershire sauce, and red pepper flakes. Simmer for 1-2 minutes.
Coat the Chicken – Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. Let it cook for another 1-2 minutes, then remove from heat.
Assemble the Tacos – Warm the tortillas, then fill each with the honey BBQ chicken. Top with lettuce, cheese, red onion, and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges for an extra zing!
Pro Tips:
✔️ Make it spicy – Add extra red pepper flakes or a drizzle of hot sauce.
✔️ Crispy option – After assembling, lightly pan-fry the tacos for a crispy shell.
✔️ Serving idea – Pair with Mexican rice or a fresh avocado salsa for a full meal!
