Ingredients
Chicken Mixture
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- ½ cup barbecue sauce
Cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Vegetables & Herbs
- ½ cup diced red onion
- ½ cup diced bell pepper
- ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
Wraps & Cooking
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Mix BBQ Chicken: In a bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken with the barbecue sauce, stirring well until the chicken is evenly coated with the sauce.
- Warm Tortillas: Slightly warm the flour tortillas either in a microwave or on a dry skillet to make them more pliable and easier to fold without tearing.
- Assemble Wraps: Place an even amount of the BBQ chicken mixture in the center of each tortilla. Top with shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses, diced red onion, diced bell pepper, and chopped fresh cilantro.
- Fold Wraps: Fold in the sides of each tortilla and then roll tightly into a smooth wrap, ensuring the fillings are sealed inside.
- Heat Skillet: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until hot.
- Cook Wraps: Place the wraps seam-side down onto the skillet. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, pressing slightly, until the wraps are golden brown, crispy, and the cheese inside has melted.
- Serve: Remove from heat, slice each wrap in half, and serve warm. Optionally, provide extra barbecue sauce on the side for dipping.
Notes
- Rotisserie chicken is a convenient shortcut that works perfectly for this recipe.
- Add sliced jalapeños for an extra spicy kick if desired.
- Incorporate lettuce, corn, or avocado for added freshness and texture.
- Cooking the wraps seam-side down first helps keep them securely closed during cooking.
