Ingredients

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup barbecue sauce, divided
8 small corn tortillas
1 cup shredded cabbage
1/2 cup diced tomatoes
1 avocado, sliced
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the chicken breasts with 1/2 cup of barbecue sauce. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Grill the Chicken: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting the excess drip off. Grill for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Slice the Chicken: After grilling, allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.

Warm the Tortillas: While the chicken is resting, warm the corn tortillas on the grill or in a skillet for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
Assemble the Tacos: Place a few slices of chicken onto each tortilla. Top with shredded cabbage, diced tomatoes, avocado slices, and chopped cilantro. Drizzle the remaining barbecue sauce over the top.
Serve: Serve the tacos hot with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top just before eating.
