Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 lbs. chicken tenders thighs or breast
  • 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese grated
  • 8-10 flour tortillas

Instructions

  • In a slow cooker combine chicken tenders, barbecue sauce, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cover and cook on high 1 1/2 - 2 hours or until chicken is cooked and falling apart.
  • Right before serving, remove chicken from crock pot, shred using two forks, return to slow cooker and mix the chicken into the barbecue sauce.
  • Preheat oven to 400. Spray baking sheet with cooking oil or line with parchment paper, set aside. 
  • Add barbecue chicken mixture onto the middle of each tortilla, then tightly roll up the tortilla. Place on prepared baking sheet, repeat with remaining tortillas and chicken, placing in a single layer about a 1-inch apart; make sure they aren’t touching.
  • Bake for 5 minutes, then top with shredded cheddar cheese and cook for another 5-6 minutes or until cheese has melted and tortillas are a nice golden brown.
  • Optional toppings: corn, cilantro and diced purple onion. Serve with additional barbecue sauce for dipping.
