- Here's what you’ll need to create these awesome wraps along with a couple of tasty additions:
- - 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken no need for cooking from scratch!
- - 1/2 cup barbecue sauce your favorite brand will do
- - 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese for that cheesy goodness
- - 4-5 large flour tortillas the bigger, the better!
- - 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro for a burst of freshness
- - 1/4 cup finely diced red onion for a little crunch
- - 2 tablespoons vegetable oil to ensure crispy wraps
- - 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika to enhance the barbecue flavor
- - 1/2 cup shredded carrots for extra crunch and color
Step 1: Prepare the Filling
In a mixing bowl, combine your shredded chicken, barbecue sauce, red onion, shredded carrots, smoked paprika, and half of the cheddar cheese. Toss everything together until the chicken is well-coated with the BBQ sauce. If you find it needs a little more flavor, feel free to add extra sauce or spices.
Step 2: Assemble the Wraps
Step 3: Roll it Up
Starting at one end, begin rolling the tortilla tightly, tucking in the sides as you go, much like you would with a burrito. This helps to keep all of that deliciousness inside!
Step 5: Cook Until Golden
Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, turning every minute or so until the wraps are golden brown and crispy all around. The interior should be warmed through, making every bite comforting and satisfying.
- Mix and Match: Feel free to customize your wraps with different vegetables or cheeses based on your preference.
- Watch the Heat: Try not to crank the heat too high, as this can burn the tortillas before the filling is warmed.
- Experiment with Sauces: Using different BBQ sauces can totally change the flavor profile. Try a sweet sauce for a contrast to the savory chicken.
- Add Proteins: If you’re in mood, adding beans can enhance the protein factor without compromising flavor.
- Serving: Wrap the warm wraps in foil if transporting them for a picnic; they'll stay warm longer!
