1/4 cup low-sugar, low-salt barbecue sauce
2 (8-inch) whole-wheat flour tortillas
1/2 cup fresh diced tomatoes
1/2 cup shredded lettuce
Heat a stovetop grill. Remove visible fat from chicken and season with salt and pepper to taste. Place chicken, and onion slices on the grill. Cook 5 minutes. Turn chicken and onions over and grill 3 minutes.
Spoon barbecue sauce over chicken and onion and grill 2 minutes. A meat thermometer should reach 165 degrees. Remove to a plate.
Using two forks, shred the chicken. Separate the onions into rings.
Meanwhile, wrap the tortillas in foil and add to the grill for 3 minutes to warm through.
Fill each tortilla with some of the chicken and onions and roll into a wrap.
Divide lettuce between two plates and top with diced tomatoes.
