Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound Ground Chicken
  • 1 small Onion diced
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1/4 cup Chipotle BBQ Sauce
  • 8 small Tortillas corn or flour
  • Mango Salsa see recipe below for components (mango, red onion, cilantro, lime juice); optional on top
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, add a small amount of oil and cook the diced onion until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Stir in the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Increase the heat to medium-high, add the ground chicken, and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, approximately 6-8 minutes.
  • Lower the heat, mix in the chipotle BBQ sauce, and simmer for 2-3 minutes until thoroughly heated.
  • While the chicken is cooking, warm your tortillas in a separate skillet or microwave until pliable.
  • Fill each tortilla with the spicy ground chicken mixture and top with mango salsa. Serve immediately!

Notes

Experiment with different toppings like avocado or sour cream for added creaminess. You can also use lettuce wraps for a low-carb alternative. Feel free to add extra veggies like bell peppers into the chicken mixture. For a milder version, reduce the chipotle BBQ sauce amount accordingly.
