Today I decided to make BBQ Chicken Soft Tacos. I used artisan tortillas, which tasted like a thick tortilla, kinda like Chalupas. It was soft and a bit chewy. This is probably one of the most delicious tacos that I have ever tasted. I was a bit surprised at how great it turned out because I wasn't sure how BBQ chicken would taste with salsa and shredded Colby and Monterey Jack cheeses. And I came up with this idea all by myself. I used BBQ sauce and I made the salsa from scratch. Below is the recipe for the salsa as well as the BBQ chicken.
My Simple and Mild Salsa Recipe:
3-4 Roma tomatoes (or regular tomatoes adjusting for size) -diced
1/2 yellow onion (diced)
~5 sprigs of Cilantro (chopped)
1 Key lime
1-2 Tbsp of Olive Oil (I used canola - it works)
Salt to taste
Other things can be added like jalapenos, green peppers, and garlic if you like.
First, you mix the chopped onions with the chopped tomatoes, mix in the chopped cilantro. Careful not to squash the tomatoes too much when mixing. Squeeze the lime juice into the mixture. Add the olive or canola oil. Mix. Then add some salt to taste and mix. The salsa can be used to eat with tortilla chips as well.
BBQ Chicken recipe:
1-4 Chicken breast strips - depending on how many tacos you plan on eating
~ 2 Tbsp BBQ sauce
Add some oil to a pan and cook the chicken breasts on each side. When it's almost done, spread the BBQ sauce on each side using a brush or a spoon. Cook more on both side until done. When done, place BBQ chickens on tortillas and spread the salsa on it. Sprinkle some shredded cheese and Enjoy!
*Would taste great with some sliced avocados also.
Stay tuned to see what I will be making tomorrow.
