  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced red onions and bell peppers, seasoning with salt and pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes until tender.
  3. Lay a flour tortilla flat and sprinkle cheddar and mozzarella cheese on one half. Add a portion of the Hot Honey BBQ chicken mixture, sautéed vegetables, and cilantro. Fold the tortilla to create a half-moon shape.
