Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (Leftover chicken works great for this recipe; just make sure to warm it up thoroughly.)
  • 1/2 cup honey BBQ sauce
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup romaine lettuce, chopped
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or pepper jack) (You can customize these wraps by using different types of cheese.)
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • optional avocado slices for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with 1/2 cup honey BBQ sauce. Mix thoroughly until the chicken is evenly coated, about 1-2 minutes. Ensure no dry patches remain, as this will enhance the flavor.
  2. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat for about 5 minutes. You want it hot enough that water sizzles on contact, which indicates it's ready for grilling.
  3. While the grill heats up, lay 4 large flour tortillas flat on a clean surface or plate. This step helps in easy assembly later on.
  4. Once the grill is hot, add the chicken mixture and cook for about 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even heating. You’ll know it’s done when the chicken is heated through and the edges start to caramelize slightly.
  5. Remove the grilled chicken from the heat and let it cool slightly for about 2-3 minutes. This prevents burning your fingers during assembly.
  6. To assemble the wraps, take one tortilla and lay a generous handful of chopped romaine lettuce in the center, followed by a few halved cherry tomatoes, a sprinkle of shredded cheese, and a few slices of red onion.
  7. Next, add an equal portion of the BBQ chicken mixture on top of the vegetables, ensuring each wrap gets the same flavorful filling.
  8. If desired, add avocado slices for garnish on top of the chicken. This adds a creamy texture that complements the BBQ sauce perfectly.
  9. Roll the tortillas tightly, folding in the sides as you go, to secure the filling. This prevents any spillage when you take a bite.
  10. Serve immediately on a platter, or wrap in foil for a portable option. Enjoy your Honey BBQ Chicken Wraps fresh for the best taste!

Keywords: For the best flavor, use high-quality honey BBQ sauce. A common mistake is overcooking the chicken on the grill. Keep an eye on it — you want it heated through, not dried out.
