Heat a pan over medium heat with a little olive oil. Add the chicken and sauté for 6–8 minutes until golden and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.

Heat a clean non-stick pan or crepe maker over medium heat. Lightly brush with olive oil. Sprinkle some cheese directly on the pan, then place a tortilla on top. Add a layer of cheese, then chicken, then another small sprinkle of cheese before folding in half. Toast each taco on both sides until golden brown and crispy, and the cheese has melted.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Butterfly and Pound for Even Cooking 🔪Butterfly chicken breasts horizontally and pound to ½-inch thickness to ensure uniform cooking and faster caramelization of the honey-chipotle glaze.
- Toast Your Spice Blend 🌶️Bloom the cumin, paprika, and turmeric in warm oil for 30 seconds before mixing with buttermilk to unlock their full aromatic potential and deepen the flavor profile.
- Make a Chipotle-Honey Reduction 🍯Simmer the glaze separately for 2-3 minutes before coating to concentrate flavors and prevent the honey from crystallizing—brush it on during the final minutes of cooking for a glossy finish.
- Crisp Your Tortillas Before Serving 🌮Char tortillas lightly in a dry skillet or over an open flame for 15-20 seconds per side to add textural contrast and enhance their nutty flavor against the tender, smoky chicken.
- Balance Smoke with Acidity 🍋Add a squeeze of fresh lime juice to the finished tacos to cut through the richness of the honey glaze and mayo, brightening all the flavors without overpowering the heat.
