Ingredients

  • 2 large skinless, boneless chicken breasts, pounded to 1/2-inch thickness
  • 1 cup chipotle barbecue sauce
  • ½ onion, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons chile-garlic sauce
  • 6 large flour tortillas, warmed
  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup sliced black olives
  • 1 large tomato, chopped

Directions

Step 1
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.

Step 2
Cook chicken on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 3 to 4 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove chicken from the grill and set aside until cool enough to handle.

Step 3
Shred cooled chicken and transfer to a saucepan. Add barbecue sauce, onion, and chile-garlic sauce and stir until chicken is coated. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring often, until steaming, about 5 minutes.

Step 4
Place a few spoonfuls of chicken mixture onto each tortilla and sprinkle with Cheddar cheese, black olives, and tomato. Roll up and serve.
