- Assemble the Roll-Ups: Lay a tortilla flat, spoon about 1/8 of the chicken mixture in the center, and sprinkle cheese on top.
- Roll the Tortilla: Fold the sides inward and roll from the bottom up to form a tight roll. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
- Cook the Roll-Ups: Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place roll-ups seam side down and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Serve: Remove from skillet, let rest for a minute, slice in half diagonally, and arrange on a platter. Drizzle extra barbecue sauce on top if desired.
