Ingredients

Scale

Wrap Ingredients

  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken
  • 3/4 cup BBQ sauce
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced

Optional Fillings

  • Sliced avocado
  • Lettuce
  • Tomato
  • Cilantro


Instructions

  1. Prepare Chicken Mixture: In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken with BBQ sauce until it is coated evenly, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist.
  2. Assemble Wraps: Lay out the tortillas on a flat surface and evenly distribute the BBQ chicken mixture over each. Top with shredded cheese, sliced red onion, and add any of the optional fillings like avocado, lettuce, tomato, or cilantro to taste.
  3. Roll Wraps: Fold in the sides of the tortillas toward the center, then roll them tightly from one end to fully enclose the fillings and keep everything inside while cooking.
  4. Toast Wraps: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Place each wrap seam side down on the pan and press gently with a spatula. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottom is crispy and golden brown, then flip and toast the other side equally to develop a perfect crunch and melted cheese inside.
  5. Serve: Remove the wraps from the skillet, slice in half if preferred, and serve immediately while warm, crispy, and delicious.

Notes

  • You can substitute BBQ chicken with pre-cooked rotisserie chicken for convenience.
  • Use whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas to suit dietary preferences.
  • Add jalapeños or hot sauce for a spicy kick.
  • To prevent soggy wraps, avoid adding too many wet fillings before toasting.
  • If you prefer, you can cook the wraps in a panini press for an even crispier texture.
