Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups shredded chicken
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas
- ¾ cup (177 ml) BBQ sauce
- ½ red onion, thinly sliced
- Optional: sliced avocado, lettuce, tomato, cilantro
Instructions
- Prep Mixture: Thoroughly blend pulled chicken with barbecue sauce, ensuring each chicken piece is completely coated with a rich, tangy glaze.
- Tortilla Arrangement: Layer flour tortillas on a clean surface, creating a smooth foundation for wrap assembly.
- Filling Distribution: Center the barbecue-coated chicken across each tortilla, maintaining consistent coverage and portion size.
- Cheese Integration: Generously sprinkle cheddar cheese over the chicken, positioning for optimal melting potential.
- Flavor Enhancement: Scatter finely chopped red onions to introduce a sharp, crisp flavor profile.
- Wrap Formation: Fold tortilla sides inward, creating a secure seal to prevent ingredient spillage, then tightly roll from bottom to top, compressing the filling into a compact cylindrical shape.
- Skillet Preparation: Heat a non-stick skillet to medium-high temperature (375°F/190°C), ensuring optimal surface for achieving a crispy exterior.
- Cooking Process: Position wraps seam-side down, applying gentle spatula pressure to create an even, golden-brown crust. Cook for 2-3 minutes until tortilla develops a caramelized texture, then flip and repeat on the opposite side.
- Serving Presentation: Remove from heat, slice diagonally to reveal the melted cheese and barbecue-glazed chicken interior, and serve immediately while maintaining peak temperature and crispness.
Notes
- Seal Tightly: Ensure wrap edges are firmly folded to prevent filling from spilling during cooking, creating a perfect compact package.
- Cheese Melting Trick: Sprinkle cheese directly on hot chicken so it melts smoothly, enhancing overall flavor and texture.
- Heat Control Matters: Use medium-high heat to achieve golden-brown exterior without burning the tortilla, watching closely for perfect caramelization.
- Resting Technique: Allow wraps to rest briefly after cooking to help cheese set and flavors meld, improving structural integrity and taste experience.
