Curry BBQ Chicken Wraps

This is a really easy & quick recipe that is delicious!! We made a few changes from a Sweet Pork Recipe to come up with this. I wasn't sure how it was going to turn out, but it turned out really really good. This recipe feeds about 4, so adjust for more people.

Tortilla Tip: Use the uncooked tortillas from the store and cook them yourself. They are much much much much better than the pre-cooked tortillas. TRUST ME!!!
