For an extra layer of flavor, try grilling the tortillas briefly before filling them. Consider adding a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt for a creamy contrast to the smoky chicken. Experiment with different types of cheese, such as Monterey Jack or pepper jack, to customize the flavor profile. If you prefer a spicier taco, increase the amount of hot sauce or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the barbecue sauce mixture.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
15 mins
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the barbecue sauce, Southwest spice blend, and hot sauce. Allow the flavors to meld for at least 15 minutes, or up to an hour, at room temperature to achieve optimal depth. (15 minutes)
02
Step
5 mins
Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the shredded chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through. (3-5 minutes)
03
Step
5 mins
Pour the barbecue sauce mixture over the chicken, stirring to coat evenly. Continue to cook until the sauce thickens slightly and clings to the chicken, creating a luscious glaze. (3-5 minutes)
04
Step
3 mins
Warm the tortillas according to package instructions or by gently heating them in a dry skillet until pliable. (2-3 minutes)
05
StepDivide the BBQ chicken mixture evenly among the warmed tortillas. Top each taco with diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, and fresh cilantro. Serve immediately with lime wedges for a burst of citrusy brightness.
