Our BBQ Chicken Tacos Recipe Really Wows Without the Work
Who says that we only should eat tacos on Tuesday? Our BBQ Chicken Tacos come together in 30 minutes so they’re perfect for any busy weeknight. And thanks to versatile rotisserie chicken, this recipe comes together with just a handful of fresh + packaged ingredients. You can customize these tacos to your personal tastes: Like ’em spicy? We recommend the kiss of heat in this pick from Sweet Baby Ray’s. And the mango salsa that we serve with our BBQ Chicken Tacos would be great as an appetizer with chips or spooned over grilled salmon. You could even make the salsa heartier by stirring in a cup of rinsed and drained canned black beans.
