Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Chipotle BBQ Chicken Tacos.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your outdoor grill to a medium-high setting, and lightly oil the grate to ensure your chicken doesn’t stick.
Step 2
Once the grill is ready, place the chicken breasts on it, cooking for approximately 3 to 4 minutes on each side.
Step 3
You’ll know they’re done when the center is no longer pink and the juices run clear.
Step 4
For perfect results, use an instant-read thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches at least 165°F (74°C).
Step 5
After grilling, remove the chicken and allow it to cool until it’s safe to handle.
Step 6
Once cooled, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces and transfer them to a saucepan.
Step 7
Add in the chipotle BBQ sauce, chopped onion, and chile-garlic sauce, stirring thoroughly to ensure the chicken is well-coated.
Step 8
Heat the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring frequently until it’s steaming, which should take about 5 minutes.
Step 9
To create your delicious tacos, spoon a generous amount of the BBQ chicken mixture onto each warmed tortilla.
Step 10
Top with shredded Cheddar cheese, sliced black olives, and fresh chopped tomatoes.
Step 11
Roll up the tortillas tightly and serve them immediately for a mouthwatering meal that’s sure to impress.
Step 12
Enjoy the smoky flavors and the delightful crunch of your homemade tacos!.
