Description

I wanted to find something quick, easy and cheap to make for dinner, yet with all of my favorite flavors of a dinner that I had spent hours making! I love chicken tacos and BBQ is one of my favorite things on the planet, so I put it all together and BAM! Best tacos ever!

Ingredients

  • FOR THE BBQ SAUCE:
  • 24 ounces, fluid Canned Tomato Sauce, Unsalted
  • ½ cups Apple Butter Preserves
  • ½ cups Packed Dark Brown Sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon Agave Nectar (or Honey)
  • 2 Tablespoons New Mexico Chili Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
  • 2 Tablespoons Balsamic Vinegar
  • 1 Tablespoon Salt
  • 1 whole Orange, Juiced
  • FOR THE TACOS:
  • 1 pound Pre-made Rotisserie Chicken
  • 10 ounces, weight Package Corn Tortillas
  • FOR THE CILANTRO-CITRUS SLAW:
  • 16 ounces, weight Package Coleslaw Mix
  • 6 ounces, fluid Container Chobani 0% Blood Orange Greek Yogurt
  • 2 teaspoons Agave Nectar (or Honey)
  • 1 bunch Fresh Cilantro, Roughly Chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • ½ teaspoons Cracked Black Pepper
  • 1 whole Blood Orange, Zest And Juice

Preparation

For the BBQ sauce (if you prefer, you can purchase your favorite pre-made bottled sauce):

1. Place all of the sauce ingredients (except orange juice) in a medium saucepan. Whisk together until smooth.
2. Heat over medium-high heat on the stove. Bring to a boil, whisking constantly for 1 minute.
3. Lower the heat and let the sauce simmer for about 20 minutes, whisking ever so often.
4. Remove from heat and let the sauce cool completely.
5. When the sauce is cooled, add orange juice and whisk again.

For the slaw:

1. Place coleslaw mix in a large mixing bowl.
2. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the yogurt and agave.
3. Pour the mixture over the coleslaw mix and toss together using a spatula.
4. Add the cilantro, salt, pepper, orange juice and zest, and toss again.
5. Refrigerate for about an hour before topping the tacos. See step 3 under Chicken Tacos.

For the chicken tacos:

1. Shred the chicken using your hands or a fork, place in a large mixing bowl. Pour 1/2 cup of the sauce over the chicken and toss to combine. Pour the remaining sauce into a canning jar for storage in the refrigerator.
2. Lay the corn tortillas down flat on a plate. Place about 1/4 cup of chicken on top of the tortilla.
3. Place about 1/4 cup of the slaw on top of the chicken.
4. DEVOUR!

Just curious if others have made this and if they’ve ever found the blood orange Chobani? I have never been able to find it in any stores.

DELICIOUS!!! Made these for supper tonight. Couldn’t find the blood orange yogurt. Bought pineapple instead, but couldn’t tell… probably could have just used plain. No desire to make my own BBQ sauce, so used Sweet Baby Ray’s Raspberry Chipotle, and it was an awesome combination. Since I ended up using pineapple Chobani, I might try it next time with pineapple juice instead of orange, just to see how different it tastes! Thanks for sharing such a fabulous recipe!
