  • 1/2 cup diced red onion (optional) Sautéing enhances flavor.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Combine the shredded chicken, BBQ sauce, and hot honey in a large bowl. Mix well until the chicken is evenly coated.
  • If using optional ingredients, sauté the diced red onion and bell pepper in a skillet with olive oil until soft, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the sautéed vegetables to the chicken mixture and stir until combined.

Cooking

  • Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly brush it with olive oil.
  • Place one tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle a generous layer of cheese over half of the tortilla.
  • Spoon the chicken mixture over the cheese, then top it with another layer of cheese.
  • Fold the tortilla in half, pressing down gently. Cook for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the cheese has melted.
  • Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
  • Remove from the skillet and slice into wedges.

Notes

Serve with sides like salad, guacamole, or salsa for a complete meal. Adjust the spices to your heat tolerance.
