Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
- ⅔ cup barbeque sauce homemade or store-bought
- 1 cup diced cherry tomatoes
- ⅓ cup chopped red onion
- 1 (15-ounce) can rinsed and drained black beans
- 1 (15-ounce) can drained corn
- 1 pitted and sliced avocado
- 12-15 small corn or flour tortillas
- chopped cilantro for garnish
Creamy Cilantro Lime Sauce
- ½ cup plain greek yogurt or sour cream
- 3 tablespoons chopped cilantro
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
Instructions
- Add 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts and ⅓ cup of the ⅔ cup barbeque sauce to a gallon ziplock bag. Close the bag and refrigerate it for at least 1 hour or up to 3 hours.
- Prepare the creamy cilantro lime sauce by adding ½ cup plain Greek yogurt, 3 tablespoons chopped cilantro, 1 tablespoon lime juice, and 1 ½ teaspoons salt to a medium bowl and whisking until combined. Transfer the dressing to a jar or container and refrigerate it until you are ready to serve the tacos.
- Once the chicken is done marinating, preheat the grill to medium-high heat and lightly grease it with nonstick cooking spray. Place the chicken on the grill and cook it for 4-5 minutes on each side, only flipping it once until it is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit
- Remove the chicken from the grill to a cutting board and baste with the remaining ⅓ cup of barbecue sauce. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before chopping it into bite-sized pieces.
- Warm 12-15 small corn or flour tortillason the grill or in a hot skillet until very lightly charred.
- Divide the chopped chicken, 1 cup diced cherry tomatoes, ⅓ cup chopped red onion, 1 (15-ounce) can rinsed and drained black beans, 1 (15-ounce) can drained corn, and 1 pitted and sliced avocado between the warm tortillas.
- Drizzle with more barbeque sauce if desired and the reserved creamy cilantro lime sauce. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve warm.
