Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients:

  • 2/3 cup KC Masterpiece Original barbecue sauce
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 3/4 pound boneless skinless chicken breast
  • 4 flour tortillas

Instructions:

  1. Marinate the Chicken:

    • In a mixing bowl, combine lime juice, minced garlic, and crushed red pepper flakes.
    • Pour the marinade over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are evenly coated.
    • Cover the bowl and refrigerate for several hours or overnight to allow the chicken to marinate thoroughly.
  2. Prepare the Grill:

    • Preheat your grill to medium heat.
    • If using charcoal, arrange the coals in an even layer for consistent cooking.
  3. Grill the Chicken:

    • Place the marinated chicken breasts on the preheated grill.
    • Grill for 12-15 minutes, turning once halfway through the cooking process.
    • While grilling, baste the chicken with some of the marinade to infuse it with flavor.
  4. Warm the Tortillas:

    • Towards the end of the chicken’s cooking time, place the flour tortillas around the edge of the grill.
    • Allow the tortillas to warm briefly, turning them once to heat both sides evenly.
  5. Slice the Chicken:

    • Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the grill.
    • Using a sharp knife, slice the chicken diagonally into thin strips.
  6. Toss with Barbecue Sauce:

    • In a separate bowl, mix the sliced chicken with KC Masterpiece Original barbecue sauce until evenly coated.
  7. Assemble the Fajitas:

    • Place a generous portion of the barbecue chicken slices onto each warm tortilla.
    • Add your choice of garnishes, such as shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, or grated cheese.
    • Wrap the tortillas around the filling to create delicious Zesty Barbecue Chicken Fajitas.
