Step-by-Step Instructions
Ready to whip up these flavor-packed tacos? Follow these easy steps:
Step 1: Cook the Chicken
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 2: Make the Garlic Butter Honey BBQ Sauce
- In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds to 1 minute, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
- Stir in the BBQ sauce, honey, and apple cider vinegar. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, tossing to coat it evenly in the sauce. Simmer for 2–3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
Step 3: Warm the Tortillas
- Heat the tortillas in a dry skillet, on a griddle, or wrapped in foil in the oven until soft and pliable.
Step 4: Assemble the Tacos
- Divide the garlic butter honey BBQ chicken evenly among the warmed tortillas.
- Top with your favorite toppings, such as shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, shredded cheese, or a dollop of sour cream.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice for brightness.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
- Serve the tacos immediately with extra lime wedges on the side.
- Enjoy the explosion of flavors in every bite!
