AUTHOR’s NOTE

The Dish I Can Have On The Table In Under 25 Mins!

Relying on rotisserie chicken and store-bought BBQ sauce is one of a reliable shortcuts when I’m pressed for time. Just toss the chicken with sauce—no flavor lost.

I’ve used this approach in a few recipes you might’ve seen: 15-minute BBQ Chicken Sandwich, the effortless BBQ Chicken Salad, or the round-up of three simple BBQ Chicken dinners.

Now, I’m excited to add these BBQ Chicken Wraps to the collection. They stick to the formula: quick, satisfying, and straightforward to make. With rotisserie chicken, BBQ sauce, veggies, and extra-sharp Cheddar, all you need to do is combine everything and stuff it into tortillas. The biggest bonus? My kids love them!

BBQ Chicken Wrap Ingredients

  • Rotisserie chicken: Store-bought rotisserie chicken saves time.
  • BBQ sauce: Choose a good BBQ sauce for great flavor. My favorites are Sweet Baby Ray’s or Stubb’s.
  • Cilantro: Fresh cilantro adds great flavor. Rinse before chopping. If you don’t like it, skip it.
  • Red onion: If you don’t like raw onions, soak it in cold water for 10 minutes to soften the flavor. You can use double the red pepper instead.
  • Red bell pepper: Red bell pepper adds sweet crunch. Remove seeds and membrane before dicing; smaller pieces work best.
  • Sharp Cheddar cheese: Grate your own cheese for a creamier texture.
  • Salt and pepper: Adjust salt based on your BBQ sauce.
  • Tortillas: Use large flour tortillas for plenty of filling and straightforward wrapping; corn tortillas tend to break.

How To Make BBQ Chicken Wraps

  1. Mix Filling: In a large bowl, combine all the filling ingredients.
  2. Prepare Tortillas: Lay tortillas flat. Spoon about 1/2 cup of the mixture in the center of each. Fold sides in and roll tightly to make a packet.
  3. Heat Wraps: Microwave each wrap. Spray all sides with cooking spray.
  4. Crisp in Pan: Heat a pan. Place wraps seam-side down, cooking 2-3 at a time. Rotate every 1-2 minutes until the edges turn golden brown and crispy.
  5. Serve: Enjoy hot, with mashed avocado on the side if desired.

Shortcuts

BBQ Chicken Wrap Shortcuts:

  • Rotisserie Chicken: Grocery stores offer hot-and-ready rotisserie chickens that are flavorful and reliable for wraps. For quicker prep, buy pre-pulled and shredded chicken from the deli.
  • Leftover Chicken: Leftover cooked or grilled chicken seasoned with salt and pepper works well here. No need to heat; it will warm as the wraps cook.
  • Use a Food Processor: Use a food processor to quickly chop veggies and fresh cilantro.
  • Store-Bought BBQ Sauce: While from-scratch BBQ sauce is great, your favorite store brand works just fine if you don’t have any on hand.

How To Fold And Crisp The Wraps

Folding the Wrap:

  1. Lay the tortilla flat and spoon filling into the center, leaving a border.
  2. Fold both sides into the center, partially covering the filling.
  3. Fold the edge closest to you over the filling and sides.
  4. Grasp the far edge and pull it over, keeping it tight, until you have a neatly wrapped packet with the filling enclosed.

Crisping the Wrap:

  1. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-a hot burner.
  2. Place the wraps seam-side down, sprayed with cooking spray, to seal them.
  3. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges turn golden brown and crispy.
  4. Flip with tongs and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes.
  5. Crisp the edges as well.
  6. Repeat with remaining wraps, cooking 2-3 at a time to avoid overcrowdin

Storage

How To Store BBQ Chicken Wraps

Storing BBQ Chicken Wraps is straightforward. Let the wraps cool completely to prevent sogginess, then wrap each tightly in foil or plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 3-4 days.

For freezing, cool the wraps, wrap each in foil, and place them in a freezer-safe bag. Freeze for up to 3 months.
