chefgeorgehirsch.com | From Grilling with Chef George Hirsch cookbook
*2 pounds boneless and skinless chicken thighs
1/4 cup Barbecue Chicken Burrito Rub
2 Tablespoons olive oil
2 cups your favorite barbecue sauce
Twelve 10-inch flour tortillas
Season chicken with rub and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Pre heat grill to high.
Brush chicken with olive oil, place on grill and sear for 2 minutes on each side. Move the chicken to a cooler side of the grill and continue cooking for 4 to 5 minutes longer. Remove the chicken from the grill and allow to cool for five minutes. Shred the meat, combine it with barbecue sauce in a small saucepan and simmer for 20 to 30 minutes on the grill or side burner.
To serve, place 3-4 Tablespoons of the chicken mixture in the center of each flour tortilla. Fold each side toward the center and roll up from the bottom. Place the burritos on a medium-hot grill and heat on both sides for a total of 1 to 2 minutes.
*Tip: Ideal to use left over chicken in place of grilling chicken
