Delicious garlic butter honey bbq tacos recipe with detailed instructions and nutritional information.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • Taco-size flour tortillas: 8 count
  • Chicken breasts: 2, boneless, skinless
  • Garlic: 4 cloves, minced
  • Butter: 4 tablespoons
  • Honey: 2 tablespoons
  • BBQ sauce: 1/2 cup
  • Chili powder: 1 teaspoon
  • Shredded cheddar cheese: 1 cup

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Cook chicken breasts. Either grill, bake, or pan-fry until cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F). Let cool slightly and shred with two forks.

  3. Step 3: Add the shredded chicken to the garlic butter honey BBQ sauce in the saucepan. Stir to coat evenly and heat through. Add chili powder, mixing well.
  4. Step 4: Warm the tortillas according to package instructions.
  5. Step 5: Fill each tortilla with the garlic butter honey BBQ chicken mixture. Top with shredded cheddar cheese.
  6. Step 6: Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • Leftover chicken filling can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For best results, reheat the chicken filling gently in a skillet over medium-low heat to prevent it from drying out.
  • Garnish your tacos with a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh cilantro for an extra burst of flavor.
  • Don't overcook the garlic when making the sauce; burnt garlic will make the entire dish bitter.
