Crispy BBQ Chicken Wraps
Description
The Crispy BBQ Chicken Wraps involve mixing shredded cooked chicken with shredded cheddar cheese, chopped cilantro, red onion, and barbecue sauce. The mixture is spread inside large flour tortillas which are then rolled burrito-style. Cooking the wraps in a lightly oiled skillet over medium-high heat crisps all sides while warming the filling. The cheese melts and helps bind the filling together, while the barbecue sauce adds tang and moisture. The balance of fresh cilantro and onion pieces brings brightness to the smoky, saucy chicken filling.
Serving these wraps right after cooking preserves the crisp tortilla texture and warm filling. They can be accompanied by fresh vegetables, a salad, or baked sweet potato fries, which complement their flavor and texture well.
This recipe is straightforward and works well with store-bought rotisserie chicken for convenience. Adjust the barbecue sauce amount to achieve your preferred level of sauciness.
Ingredients
- 2 cups chicken shredded (rotisserie chicken works great!, cooked
- 2 cups cheddar cheese shredded
- 1/4 cup cilantro chopped, fresh
- 1/4 cup red onion , chopped
- 1/2 cup barbecue sauce , your favorite kind
- 4-5 large flour tortillas
- 2 Tablespoons neutral cooking oil vegetable or canola oil, generic cooking oil
Instructions
- Add chicken, cheese, onion, cilantro and BBQ sauce to a mixing bowl and toss to combine. Add more BBQ sauce if needed, to taste.
- Layer tortillas with a 1/2 cup of the mixture. Starting at that end, roll the tortilla up, folding in the sides like a burrito.
- Heat a skillet over medium high-heat. Add enough oil to lightly coat the bottom of the pan (or spray generously with cooking spray) and once the oil is hot, place the wraps seam side down in the skillet. Cook, turning the wraps every minute or two, until they are golden and crispy on all sides and warmed through. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Serve with fresh chopped vegetables, a green salad, or baked sweet potato fries for a complete meal.
