Southwest BBQ Chicken Tacos are a fun twist on traditional tacos. The shredded chicken is coated in a tangy, smoky barbecue sauce with hints of southwestern seasoning and hot sauce. The toppings of fresh tomato and cilantro add crunch and color to the tacos, while the lime wedges give a zesty pop of flavor. These tacos are easy to customize – try adding shredded lettuce, sliced avocado, or a dollop of sour cream for even more variety.

4.Warm the tortillas according to package instructions.
5.Divide the chicken mixture among the tortillas. Top each with chopped tomatoes and cilantro.
6.Serve with lime wedges on the side.
