crispy bbq chicken tacos - by Caroline Chambers
Having spent two weeks in North and South Carolina earlier this month, I can attest that there does indeed exist a temperature/heat index at which point it simply becomes too hot to spend absolutely any time outdoors, let alone standing over hot flames cooking your food.
But it’s summertime, Caro! We have to grill all of our food! No. We do not.
Last week (tiny tomato pasta!) and the week before (esquites chicken salad!) we made beautiful summer food. This week it’s time for a quick, simple meal that happens entirely indoors. In the air conditioning. No trips to the (outdoor, non-air conditioned) farmer’s market required.
Crispy BBQ chicken tacos! We’re very quickly cooking up some ground chicken with onions, spices, and BBQ sauce, smacking it onto flour tortillas with a smattering of cheese, then baking them until shatteringly crisp. Oh man, they’re so good! They’re such a crowd pleaser! They’re so easy!
Makes 6 to 8 tacos
Cook time: ~40 minutes
