BBQ Chicken Wraps

So I'm in graduate school now and am ridiculously busy with schoolwork. The other night I lost track of time and realized it was already close to 8 PM and hadn't gotten dinner started at all.  I had chicken in the fridge and tortillas in the pantry. I found this recipe on the Weight Watchers website and thought I could make it really quick.

Really quick indeed! I had dinner on the table by 8:30. Top chicken with sliced avocado and mixed greens for a delicious sandwich for dinner! This recipe made enough for 6-8 wraps. They were just as good for lunch the next day! This is a sweet BBQ sauce with a kick from the hot sauce.

Marinate your chicken! Over night if you can, but if you forget, an hour should do it. I used vegetable oil, Dijon mustard, a dash of red wine vinegar, salt and pepper.

2 chicken breasts, marinated
1 fresh avocado, sliced
3 Cups mixed greens or lettuce

1 Cup diet coke (I know, weird, but trust me you won't taste the "diet" part when it's done)
1 Cup ketchup
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp hot sauce (more if you like it spicy)
3 tbsp steak sauce
1 tsp dehydrated onion flakes
1 tsp garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste

1. Combine all ingredients, except chicken, in a small pan and bring to a boil. Lower heat to simmer and let sauce thicken, stirring occasionally.
2. While your sauce is simmering, grill your chicken.
3. Once chicken is cooked all the way through, slice into bite sized pieces or shred meat with a fork (however you prefer it) and toss in a medium bowl with a cup of sauce.
4. Place chicken-sauce mixture on tortillas, top with slices of avocado and mixed greens. Drizzle extra sauce on if you want.  Fold tortilla and use a toothpick to hold your wrap together.
