Preheat your barbecue grill to medium heat.

Lightly brush both sides of the chicken breast with oil to prevent sticking.

Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is fully cooked.

Lay the flour tortilla flat on a clean cutting board. Spoon an even amount of the chicken mixture down the center of the tortilla.

Fold in the opposite sides of the tortilla to encase the filling, then roll it up burrito-style, ensuring the filling is securely wrapped inside.
8
Place the wrap seam-side down on the grill, cooking on medium-low heat for about 4-5 minutes, or until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy, flipping once to achieve even grilling.
