# Instructions:
01 -
Sprinkle salt and pepper evenly over the chicken. Warm up your Dutch oven with some olive oil on medium heat. Sear the chicken on both sides until lightly golden, doing this in portions if needed. Toss in the onions, garlic, tomatoes, and stock. Let it cook covered for about 50 minutes on low heat until the chicken's tender.
02 -
While waiting on the chicken, warm up a saucepan and melt the butter. Toss in the onions and garlic, cooking until fragrant. Mix in ketchup, honey, Worcestershire, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and pepper. Let it simmer without a lid for half an hour, giving it an occasional stir for a nice, thick sauce.
03 -
Combine the strawberries, cilantro, jalapeño, and lime juice in a big mixing bowl. Stir gently and let it sit a bit to meld the flavors.
04 -
Take the cooked chicken out and shred it with two forks. Drop the shredded pieces into the BBQ sauce and give it a thorough mix until it's all coated.
05 -
Heat up the tortillas on both sides in a skillet until warm and slightly crispy. Layer the BBQ chicken in each tortilla, then pile on the salsa and a couple of avocado slices.
# Notes:

Combining sweet BBQ chicken and fruity strawberry salsa makes these tacos stand out.

You can cook the chicken earlier, then just reheat it when you're ready.
