Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Mixture
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1/2 cup honey BBQ sauce
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Wrap Fillings
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup romaine lettuce, chopped
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or pepper jack)
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- Optional: avocado slices for garnish
Instructions
- Combine Chicken and Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with the honey BBQ sauce. Mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated with the sauce.
- Preheat Grill: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat to prepare for warming the chicken.
- Prepare Tortillas: Lay the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface or plate to get ready for assembling the wraps.
- Heat Chicken: Place the chicken mixture on the hot grill and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is heated through.
- Cool Chicken Slightly: Remove the grilled chicken from heat and allow it to cool slightly to avoid wilting the fresh vegetables when assembling.
- Assemble Wraps: Evenly distribute the chopped romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, shredded cheese, and red onion onto each tortilla.
- Add Chicken: Spoon an equal portion of the warm BBQ chicken on top of the vegetables on each tortilla.
- Add Avocado (Optional): Place avocado slices on top of the chicken for extra creaminess and flavor.
- Roll Wraps: Roll the tortillas tightly, folding in the sides as you go, to secure the filling inside.
- Serve: Serve the wraps immediately on a platter or wrap in foil for a portable, on-the-go meal option.
Notes
- Leftover cooked chicken is ideal for this recipe to save cooking time.
- You can customize cheese types such as mozzarella or Monterey Jack for variation.
- Grilling the chicken mixture adds a smoky flavor and warms it evenly.
- For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free tortillas.
- Avocado slices add a nice creaminess but can be omitted if preferred.
- Serve with a side of fresh fruit or a light salad for a balanced meal.
