  • 4 large flour tortillas Burrito size
  • 2 cups cooked chicken Shredded
  • 2 cups cheddar cheese Shredded
  • ½ medium red onion Diced
  • ½ cup BBQ sauce Your favorite brand
  • 2 tablespoon honey For sweetness

  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder Seasoning
  • 1 bunch fresh cilantro Chopped garnish

Equipment

  • 1 Large skillet Or griddle
  • 1 Whisk For sauce
  • 1 Spatula For flipping

Method
 

  1. Whisk BBQ sauce, honey, hot sauce, melted butter, and garlic powder in a small bowl.
  2. Toss shredded chicken with half of the sauce until fully coated.
  3. Layer cheese, chicken, onion, and more cheese on half of each tortilla; fold to close.
  4. Cook in a buttered skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes per side until crispy.

Notes

Use the double-layer cheese method to seal the filling inside. Watch the heat to prevent the sugary sauce from burning.
