Units
Scale
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
- 1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup corn kernels (optional)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 4 large flour tortillas
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, toss the shredded chicken with BBQ sauce until fully coated.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Sauté the red onions until softened and slightly caramelized, about 5 minutes. Add corn if using.
- Lay a tortilla flat and sprinkle a mix of cheddar and mozzarella on one half. Top with BBQ chicken, onions, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Fold the tortilla in half.
- Place the folded tortilla in a lightly oiled skillet and cook over medium heat for 2–3 minutes on each side, or until golden and crispy with melted cheese.
- Repeat with remaining tortillas.
- Slice into wedges and serve warm, optionally with sour cream or guacamole.
Notes
- Use your favorite BBQ sauce for personalized flavor.
- Can be made ahead and reheated in a skillet or air fryer for crispiness.
- Great way to use up leftover chicken.
