Instructions

In a medium bowl, combine shredded chicken and BBQ sauce until the chicken is evenly coated.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with olive oil or butter.
Place a tortilla flat on the skillet, and sprinkle one half with a mix of cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
Add BBQ chicken, then top with chopped red onions and cilantro.
Fold the tortilla in half to form a half-moon.
Cook for 2–3 minutes per side until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Repeat with remaining ingredients.
Slice into wedges and serve with sour cream or salsa if desired.

Notes

For a spicier twist, add sliced jalapeños or use a spicy BBQ sauce.
These can also be baked in the oven at 400°F for about 8 minutes per side.
