I thought this was a great recipe. The only change I made was I used carne Asada seasoning on the chicken!

Used this as the inspiration for tonight's BBQ Chicken Tacos. I need to watch carbs so went with flatout bread and cut in half. All I can say is that the wife liked.

This is both easy and delicious. I can't handle anything spicy, so to add some safe kick, I fried thinly sliced onions in the oil before adding the chicken in for its warmup. For the sauce, I used Sweet Baby Rays, and went with 2/3 honey BBQ and 1/2 regular (because too much regular is too spicy, sad but true). I used regular pre-shredded Mexican blend cheese, and followed the rest of the recipe. These were delicious and easy, and a great use for leftover rotisserie chicken.

I modified the recipe; no hot sauce and used flour tortillas. A side of corn and it was delicious and perfect week night meal!

These are awesome! I wrapped the chicken with pico from the grocery deli and some frozen sweet corn as well as the cilantro and cheese. YUM!!
