Description

This quick and easy recipe makes a satisfying lunch or weeknight dinner, offering a delightful combination of smoky, cheesy, and fresh flavors with a crispy toasted wrap exterior.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • ½ cup barbecue sauce
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 4 large flour tortillas

Vegetables & Herbs

  • ½ cup diced red onion
  • ½ cup diced bell pepper
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro

For Cooking

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Mix chicken and barbecue sauce: In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken with barbecue sauce until the chicken is evenly coated, ensuring flavorful bites throughout the wraps.
  2. Warm the tortillas: Slightly warm the flour tortillas using a microwave or skillet to make them pliable and easier to fold without tearing.
  3. Assemble the wraps: Place a portion of the BBQ chicken mixture in the center of each warmed tortilla. Then sprinkle the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses evenly over the chicken. Add diced red onion, bell pepper, and chopped cilantro on top for freshness and crunch.
  4. Fold and roll: Fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll tightly from one end to create a secure wrap that holds the filling together while cooking.
  5. Heat the skillet: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, preparing it for toasting the wraps to crispy perfection.
  6. Cook the wraps: Place the wraps in the skillet seam-side down first to seal them closed. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes on one side until golden brown and crispy, then carefully flip and cook the other side for another 2 to 3 minutes until the cheese has melted inside.
  7. Serve: Remove the wraps from the skillet, slice each in half diagonally, and serve while warm, optionally with extra barbecue sauce on the side for dipping.

Notes

  • Using rotisserie chicken is a convenient shortcut that adds flavor and saves time.
  • Add sliced jalapeños inside the wrap for a spicy kick if desired.
  • Incorporate additional veggies like lettuce, corn, or avocado for extra freshness and texture.
  • Cooking the wraps seam-side down first helps keep them securely closed during toasting and prevents filling from spilling.
