  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.

  3. In a large bowl, combine red onion, chicken, cheddar cheese, pineapple, BBQ sauce and cilantro; season with salt and pepper; to taste.
  4. Working one at a time, transfer tortilla to a work surface; place BBQ chicken mixture in the center of each wrapper. Bring the bottom edge of the tortilla tightly over the filling, rolling from bottom to top until the top of the tortilla is reached. Repeat with remaining tortilla and filling.
