Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp chili powder (optional, for heat)
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • ⅓ cup BBQ sauce
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 8 small flour or corn tortillas
  • ½ cup shredded lettuce
  • ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
  • ¼ cup diced red onion
  • ¼ cup chopped cilantro
  • Lime wedges, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, season the chicken with olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and chili powder. Toss to coat evenly.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the seasoned chicken for 5–6 minutes per side until fully cooked. Remove from heat and let it rest before slicing.
  3. In the same skillet used for chicken, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in honey, BBQ sauce, and lemon juice. Simmer for 2 minutes until slightly thickened.
  4. Slice or shred the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces. Toss it in the warm garlic butter honey BBQ sauce until well coated.
  5. Warm your tortillas. Layer each tortilla with shredded lettuce, saucy chicken, shredded cheese, diced red onion, and chopped cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor!
