Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce (adjust to taste)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup sliced red onions
- 1/2 cup chopped bell peppers (any color)
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Sour cream and guacamole for serving (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken with the BBQ sauce, honey, and hot sauce. Stir until well-coated.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced red onions and chopped bell peppers; sauté for 5 minutes until soft.
- Lay one tortilla flat, sprinkle a layer of cheddar and mozzarella cheese over half, then add the BBQ chicken mixture, sautéed vegetables, and cilantro. Fold the tortilla in half.

Notes
Don’t overfill your tortillas to avoid spillage. Allow tortillas to brown for optimal crunch.
