Super-quick BBQ Chicken Tacos with Coleslaw requires minimal ingredients and packs a flavor punch! We toss packaged coleslaw with coleslaw dressing and load that up in a charred tortilla. Top with saucy BBQ chicken and fresh sweet corn and dinner's on the table!
COLESLAW: Toss coleslaw mix and coleslaw dressing together with tongs. Feel free to play around with quantities adding more dressing for a saucier slaw or more coleslaw for a less saucy slaw. Let stand, tossingonce more before assembling tacos.
CHICKEN: Shred a rotisserie chicken (or use a pre-shredded rotisserie chicken) and add to a small pot. Add BBQ sauce (start with ½cup and add more as needed, depending on how saucy you like the chicken). Gently stir over low heat with tongs until the chicken is coated and warmed through. (See Note 1.)
TORTILLAS: See Note 2
ASSEMBLY: Divide saucy coleslaw among the charred tortillas. Top with warmed BBQ chicken. Sprinkle corn (cut off the cob or thawed) evenly on top of the chicken. If desired, add fresh sliced avocado and cilantro to tacos. Enjoy immediately!

Notes
Note 1: Chicken: We don't want to cook the chicken (it's already cooked -- it will get dry and lose flavor if heated too long or at too high of a heat)--we just want to take the chill off. Warm gently over low heat until just warmed through. If using a hot and ready rotisserie chicken, no need to warm it through, simply warm the BBQ sauce in the microwave (covered) for about 30 seconds and then toss with the already-warm chicken.Note 2: Tortillas: Spray both sides of the tortillas with olive oil cooking spray and char the tortillas directly over the gas flames for a few seconds. Use tongs to flip until tortillas are lightly charred and soft. Immediately fold the tortilla in half (so it will fold into a taco nicely later) and place it under a towel to keep warm. Alternatively, warm tortillas in a large skillet over medium heat (in batches, so the skillet isn't over-filled). Flip to warm each side, remove from heat, fold in half, and place under a towel to keep warm. Alternatively, warm through in microwave, covered with a damp paper towel.
