BBQ Chicken Tacos
This is a sponsored post in partnership with KC Masterpiece®. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Chicken Tacos are on our dinner menu at least once a week. Barbecue tacos are my absolute favorite and tacos are something the entire family can agree on.
We picked up the new KC Masterpiece®816 Hot BBQ Sauce at Walmart during our weekly shopping trip and knew it was going to give our grilled chicken tacos a spicy kick that is beyond delicious.
We always have both flour tortillas and crunchy corn taco shells for our taco feasts. We love to wrap the crunchy shells in warm flour tortillas and add the fillings and toppings.
This way when your taco shell crumbles, the flour tortilla catches the filling and you don’t wind up with a pile of taco filling. You have to try it! Plus, you get the best of both the crunchy and chewy shells.
How to make BBQ Chicken Tacos:
- Brush chicken tenders with olive and season with salt and pepper.
- Heat grill to 300°.
- Grill chicken for 3-4 minutes.
- Flip chicken and brush with KC Masterpiece 816 Hot BBQ Sauce.
- Close the grill lid and cook for 3-4 minutes. Flip chicken again and baste with sauce. Cook another 2-4 minutes or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°.
- Remove chicken from grill and loosely cover with foil for 5 minutes. Slice chicken tenders and keep warm until serving.
- Heat taco shells and tortillas according to package directions.
- Layer flour tortillas with a corn tortilla inside, fill with creamy coleslaw and bbq chicken slices, drizzle with KC Masterpiece 816 Hot BBQ Sauce. Top with cilantro and sliced jalapeños.

KC Masterpiece has always been a family favorite and the whole family was crowded around the bar to sample all three of the sauces when we brought them home from Walmart.
The KC Masterpiece 816 BBQ Sauces are inspired by the Kansas City region. We loved all three of the flavors: Original, which is sweet n’ smoky. Hot, which is spicy n’ smoky and Sweet, which is sweet n’ tangy.
The Hot has a bit of a kick but isn’t too spicy. It was perfect on the grilled chicken and so good paired with the creamy coleslaw. These BBQ chicken tacos did not last a hot minute at our house.
