Ingredients

2 cups shredded cooked chicken
1 cup BBQ sauce
4 large flour tortillas
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup diced red onion
1/2 cup corn (canned or frozen)
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
Oil for frying or cooking spray

Instructions

Prepare the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with BBQ sauce. Adjust the amount of sauce to your preference.
Assemble the Tortilla Pockets: Lay a tortilla on a flat surface, and distribute the BBQ chicken mixture evenly in the center. Top with cheese, diced onion, corn, and cilantro if using.
Fold the Tortilla: Fold in the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up from the bottom to the top to form a pocket.

Cook the Tortilla Pockets: Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly oil it. Place the stuffed pockets seam-side down in the skillet, cooking until golden brown on each side, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Serve: Slice the tortilla pockets in half and serve with extra BBQ sauce on the side for dipping.
