1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
-
1/2 cup reduced fat monterey jack cheese, shredded

In a bowl, combine the chicken, hot sauce, 2 teaspoons Buffalo Wing Rub and Dried Cilantro. Toss to combine making sure that chicken is evenly covered with mixture.
In a small bowl, blender or small food processor combine the dipping sauce ingredients and mix until thoroughly combined. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Heat grill or stove top to medium high heat
Brush the grill or heavy with olive oil to prevent sticking
Put 1/4 of the chicken and 1/4 of the beans and 1/4 of the cheeses on 1/2 of the tortilla.
Fold the other 1/2 of the tortilla over the mixture and press firmly.
Place tortilla on the grill.

Remove from grill, allow to cool for 2-3 minutes and cut the tortilla into 3 wedges.
Repeat process for the remaining tortillas and filling.
Serve with dipping sauce.
