- 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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Remove the grilled chicken from the heat and let it cool slightly for about 2-3 minutes. This prevents burning your fingers during assembly.
- 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.
- Next, add an equal portion of the BBQ chicken mixture on top of the vegetables, ensuring each wrap gets the same flavorful filling.
- If desired, add avocado slices for garnish on top of the chicken. This adds a creamy texture that complements the BBQ sauce perfectly.
- Roll the tortillas tightly, folding in the sides as you go, to secure the filling. This prevents any spillage when you take a bite.
- 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.
