BBQ pulled chicken tacos offer a combination of savory, smoky, and slightly sweet flavors. They make for a fantastic meal for gatherings, parties, or a casual weeknight dinner, and can be customized to your taste preferences!
Place all seasonings, lime juice, and oil in a bowl and mix to combine. Add to chicken and turn it to coat it evenly.
Heat oil in a cast iron skillet or a non-stick pan over medium heat. Cook chicken for 10 minutes flipping 2-3 times until is fully cooked.
Place chicken in a dish or large plate and cover with aluminum foil.
Add chicken stock, BBQ, and tomato sauce to the skillet. Scrap the base of the pan to loosen the bites and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat.
Roughly shred the chicken using two forks and then return it to the skillet with the sauce. Mix well and allow to simmer until the sauce has thickened (about 4 minutes). Adjust salt to taste.
