Notes
If you don't have the time to make your own homemade BBQ sauce, not to worry, there are so many great options on the market nowadays! I personally love the FODY brand of BBQ sauce, especially for those who are sensitive to garlic and/or onions.
This recipe would also be a great addition to any sort of buddha bowl if tacos aren't your thing. You could use the exact same ingredients for the tacos and put them over rice or quinoa, instead of tortillas! The perfect easy weeknight meal.
