Ingredients

10 ½ ounces - chicken breast
1 ½ teaspoons - salt
½ tsp - black pepper
2 teaspoons - paprika
2 teaspoons - garlic powder
1 tbsp - honey
2 tablespoons - BBQ sauce
1 - onion
2 tablespoons - oil
6 - tortillas
1 ½ cups - cheese
cilantro lime sauce

Instructions

In a bowl, mix the honey, BBQ sauce, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Set aside, this ensures even flavor later and prevents over-seasoning in the pan.
Heat a pan with a little oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and sauté until soft and lightly golden. Add the diced chicken and cook until it’s almost done.
Pour the prepared honey BBQ mixture into the pan. Toss well so the chicken and onions are fully coated. Let it simmer briefly until sticky and glossy.
Heat a lightly oiled pan. Place a tortilla in the pan, add a layer of cheese, spoon in the honey BBQ chicken mixture, then add a little more cheese on top. Fold the tortilla.
Toast the tacos on both sides until golden and crispy and the cheese is fully melted.
