Author's Notes

This recipe yields 10-12 tacos.

Refrigerate any leftover pulled pork in a vacuum-sealed bag or freezer Ziploc bag (pressing all the air out) for up to 3-5 days. Frozen pulled pork will last for up to 2 months in a freezer. Write the name and date on your freezer bags so you can keep track.

To bake chicken in the oven: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line baking pan with non-stick foil. Add chicken in a single layer. Bake 14 to 16 minutes (for small/medium breasts that are about 5-6 oz), 16 to 20 minutes (for medium/large breasts that are 7 to 9 oz), or 20 to 25 minutes (for larger breasts), or until chicken is cooked to 160 degrees F (70 degrees C) on an instant-read thermometer, then remove from oven and cover with foil, let rest for 10 minutes to continue to cook to 165 degrees (75 degrees C).

Step 1
Prepare the Barbecue Sweet Rub. In a small bowl, whisk together Dark Brown Sugar (55 g) , Coarse Sea Salt (8 g) , Cracked Black Pepper (6 g) , Smoked Paprika (5 g) , McCormick® Garlic Powder (6 g) , Onion Powder (5 g) , Dry Mustard (2 g) , and Cayenne Pepper (as needed) until evenly blended.
Step 2
Prepare Wet Run Barbecue Marinade. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 Tbsp of Barbecue Sweet Rub, Olive Oil (30 mL) , Lime Juice (1) , Lime Zest, and Apple Cider (30 mL) .
Step 3
Unwrap Chicken Breasts (680 g) and pound to an even thickness, pat dry with paper towels. Sprinkle chicken all over lightly with 1/4 cup of Barbecue Sweet Rub.
Step 4
Place the chicken in a single layer in a snug dish. Drizzle the Wet Rub Barbecue Marinade evenly over the chicken, turning to evenly coat. Cover and refrigerate, allowing the chicken to marinate for at least 1 hour and up to 12 hours, then bring it to room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking.
Step 5
Grease clean grill grates and preheat the grill to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) with the lid closed. Grill chicken undisturbed with the lid closed for 5-7 minutes per side. Drizzle and brush with barbecue sauce when turning.
Step 6
Continue to cook chicken until cooked through and it reaches 160 degrees F (70 degrees C) on an instant-read thermometer.
Step 7
Remove from grill. Cover with foil and allow to rest for 10 minutes for carryover cooking to 165 degrees F (75 degrees C).
Step 8
Meanwhile, slice and/or chop barbecued chicken into bite-size pieces. Using a microwave, skillet, oven, or char on the grill or open gas stovetop flame heat the Small Corn Tortillas (10) until warm but still pliable.
Step 9
Assemble your Tacos by layering warmed corn tortila with Red Cabbage (to taste) , Red Onions (to taste) , Corn (to taste) , barbecued chicken pieces, Avocado (1) , and Cotija Cheese (to taste) .
Step 10
Drizzle with additional barbecue sauce and a squeeze of Limes (2) . Garnish with Fresh Cilantro (to taste) and limes, if desired. Enjoy!
