Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken
- 1 cup shredded cheese
Sauces and Seasoning:
- ¾ cup (177 ml) BBQ sauce
Wrap and Vegetable Components:
- 4 large flour tortillas
- ½ red onion, thinly sliced
- Optional fillings: sliced avocado, lettuce, tomato, cilantro
Instructions
- Thoroughly combine pulled chicken with tangy barbecue sauce, ensuring each shred is generously coated with a flavorful glaze.
- Arrange large flour tortillas on a clean work surface, creating an even canvas for assembling the wraps.
- Distribute the barbecue-infused chicken mixture across the center of each tortilla, maintaining a consistent portion size.
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese generously over the chicken, allowing for maximum melting potential.
- Add finely chopped red onions for a sharp, crisp texture and vibrant flavor accent.
- Carefully fold the sides of the tortilla towards the center, creating a tight seal that prevents ingredients from escaping during cooking.
- Roll the wrap tightly from bottom to top, compressing the filling and ensuring a compact cylindrical shape.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat (375 degrees Fahrenheit or 190 degrees Celsius) to guarantee optimal crispiness.
- Place wraps seam-side down in the hot skillet, applying gentle pressure with a spatula to create an even, golden-brown exterior.
- Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the tortilla develops a crisp, caramelized texture and a rich golden color.
- Carefully flip the wraps and repeat the crisping process on the opposite side, ensuring uniform browning.
- Remove from heat and slice diagonally, presenting the wraps to showcase the melted cheese and barbecue-glazed chicken interior.
- Serve immediately while the wraps maintain their optimal temperature and crunch.
Notes
- Customize these wraps with your favorite BBQ sauce for a personalized flavor explosion.
- Prep ingredients ahead of time to make assembly quick and stress-free during busy weeknights.
- Leftover rotisserie chicken works perfectly, saving you time and adding extra tenderness.
- Experiment with different cheese varieties like pepper jack or sharp cheddar for unique taste profiles.
- Use a non-stick skillet to ensure crispy exterior without sticking or burning the tortillas.
