- Soften 2 tablespoons of butter.
- Spread a thin layer of softened butter on one side of each tortilla.
- Place one buttered tortilla in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- Evenly distribute 1/2 cup shredded chicken, 1 slice crumbled bacon, 1/4 cup diced tomatoes, and 1/8 cup chopped onion over the tortilla.
- Drizzle 1/8 cup of barbecue sauce over the chicken and vegetable mixture.
- Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded cheese over the filling.
- Top with another tortilla, buttered side up.
