Smoked Chicken

Pecan Smoked Chicken with Herb Rub

I am very slowly mastering this "smoking on the Q" thing. Hands down the best smoked bird I have done yet.

Like Taco Bell...only a whole lot better

Smoked Chicken Tacos with Guacamole, Onions and Lettuce

I have to credit a friend with this idea. On a ski trip, we made a couple of beer can chickens. He made chicken tacos out of the leftovers. I have done this several times since. This particular version used the leftover breast from a pecan smoked chicken.

Shred the chicken, you can use white or dark meat based on your preference and what is left over. Cook it over medium heat in a skillet with just a little bit of tomato sauce and some taco seasoning, store bought or the recipe below which I stole off the interwebs someplace.

Make tacos. Use whatever you have or like on your tacos. There is no science here.

Taco Seasoning:
1 T chili powder
1/4 t garlic powder
1/4 t onion powder
1/4 t crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 t dried oregano
1/2 t paprika
1.5 t ground cumin
1 t sea salt
1 t ground black pepper

Mix in a bowl
