I just want to start off by saying I LOVE TACOS. I’ve posted a few different recipes for tacos and there’s sooo much more coming your way. You can really put anything on them and you know they’re going to taste good. I just spent a week in California eating my way through San Diego and and Mexico and I’m inspired even more! I love being able to edit a recipe and turn it into taco form. I love BBQ chicken pizza and thought about how fun (and delicious) it would be to eat as a taco! So here ya go!
Although you might not be able to find these in Southern California or Mexico, you’re still going to enjoy what they have to offer. Delicious bbq chicken, crispy bacon pieces, cheese, cilantro, red onion, and more bbq sauce. I’m so happy that Sweet Baby Ray’s makes this sauce in a squeeze bottle because it makes serving so easy! And more cheese! I just can’t get enough!
