Ingredients
For the Wraps
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
- ½ cup BBQ sauce
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas
- ½ cup corn kernels
- ¼ cup diced red onion
- ¼ cup diced bell pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
Optional
- Ranch dressing
- Sliced avocado
- Pickled jalapeños
- Extra BBQ sauce
Instructions
- Combine Chicken and BBQ Sauce: In a medium bowl, mix the cooked chicken evenly with the BBQ sauce until each piece is well-coated to infuse rich, smoky flavor.
- Warm the Tortillas: Briefly warm the tortillas in a skillet or microwave to make them pliable and easy to fold without cracking.
- Assemble the Wraps: Divide the BBQ chicken mixture evenly among the warmed tortillas. Top each with shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses, corn kernels, diced red onion, diced bell pepper, chopped green onions, and fresh cilantro for a burst of flavor and texture.
- Fold and Roll: Fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll tightly to enclose the fillings securely, preventing spillage during cooking.
- Cook the Wraps: Preheat a large skillet over medium heat. Place each wrap seam-side down in the skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until the outside turns golden brown and the cheese melts completely.
- Serve: Slice the wraps in half diagonally and serve warm, offering additional BBQ sauce or ranch dressing on the side for dipping if desired.
Notes
- Rotisserie chicken is a convenient shortcut that works well for this recipe, saving prep time.
- Choose your favorite style of BBQ sauce, from sweet and smoky to spicy, to customize the flavor.
- Avoid overfilling the tortillas to ensure they are easy to roll and won’t fall apart.
- For extra crispy wraps, lightly brush the outside of the rolled tortillas with olive oil before toasting in the skillet.
