How to Prepare

Preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C).

In a bowl, mix the diced chicken with the smoked paprika, cumin, red pepper flakes, arrowroot, salt, and pepper. Spread the chicken evenly on a baking sheet, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and bake for 15-20 minutes until cooked through and slightly crispy.

To make the cabbage mixture, combine all the ingredients in a bowl, season with salt & pepper, and toss well until the cabbage and onion turn bright pink. Set aside.

In a small bowl, mix all the BBQ sauce ingredients with 1 tablespoon of water. Once the chicken is cooked, toss it in the sauce until coated evenly.

Dry fry the tortillas, then top with smashed avocado, BBQ chicken, and pickled cabbage. Squeeze over extra lime juice and garnish with cilantro. Enjoy your BBQ Chicken Tacos with Pickled Cabbage!
