Instructions

Begin by gathering all the ingredients and preparing your workspace. Shred the cooked chicken and place it in a bowl. Mix the chicken with BBQ sauce, ensuring every piece is well-coated. Meanwhile, finely shred your red cabbage and grate the carrots, combining them in a bowl. Chop cilantro and set aside for garnish.
In a medium saucepan, heat the BBQ chicken mixture over medium heat until warmed through, stirring occasionally. For those preferring crispy tortillas, warm them on a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side until they are pliable and slightly toasted.
To serve, take a warm tortilla and fill it with a generous scoop of BBQ chicken, followed by the red cabbage slaw. Drizzle with lime juice and sprinkle with cilantro for a refreshing finish. Arrange your tacos on a beautiful platter, garnishing with lime wedges and additional toppings for your guests to customize their own tacos.

Notes

Feel free to adjust the BBQ sauce to your taste; you can add more or less depending on whether you prefer a milder or bolder flavor. For vegetarian options, swap the chicken with grilled tempeh or jackfruit.
