These BBQ Chicken Tacos are a perfect blend of tangy, sweet, and savory flavors, making them a favorite for casual weeknight dinners or gatherings with friends.

Paired with crisp cabbage, creamy avocado, and a touch of cilantro, these tacos offer a fresh, vibrant contrast to the boldness of the BBQ chicken. They’re easy to make and customizable with your favorite toppings, making them an all-around crowd-pleaser.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
• 1 cup barbecue sauce (your choice)
• 8 small flour or corn tortillas
• 1 cup shredded red cabbage
• 1 avocado, sliced
• 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 lime, cut into wedges
• 1/4 cup sour cream (optional)
• 1/2 cup shredded cheese (optional)
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. Cook the Chicken: Grill or cook the chicken in a skillet over medium heat, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Alternatively, you can slow cook the chicken on low for 4-6 hours with a bit of barbecue sauce.
2. Shred the Chicken: Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes, then shred it with two forks. Toss the shredded chicken in the barbecue sauce, ensuring it’s evenly coated.
3. Prepare Toppings: While the chicken cooks, prep the toppings. Shred the red cabbage, slice the avocado, and chop the cilantro.
4. Warm the Tortillas: Heat the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until soft and pliable.
5. Assemble the Tacos: Spoon the BBQ chicken into each tortilla. Top with shredded cabbage, avocado slices, red onion, and cilantro. Add a dollop of sour cream or cheese if desired.
6. Serve: Squeeze fresh lime juice over the tacos before serving. Enjoy with your favorite side dish, like chips and salsa or a simple salad.

These tacos are sure to be a hit, offering a delicious mix of textures and flavors in every bite!
