Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Mixture
- 2 cups cooked chicken (shredded or chopped)
- 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
Fillings
- 1 cup canned pineapple tidbits (drained)
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella or Monterey Jack cheese
- 1/4 cup red onion (thinly sliced)
- 1/2 cup shredded lettuce or cabbage
Wraps & Optional Toppings
- 4 large flour tortillas
- Optional: chopped cilantro
- Optional: jalapeño slices
- Optional: extra BBQ sauce for drizzling
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken mixture: In a medium bowl, thoroughly mix the cooked shredded or chopped chicken with barbecue sauce until the chicken is evenly coated with the sauce.
- Assemble the wraps: Lay the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Evenly divide the BBQ chicken mixture among the tortillas. Top each portion with pineapple tidbits, shredded cheese, thinly sliced red onion, and shredded lettuce or cabbage for crunch and freshness.
- Add optional toppings: If desired, sprinkle chopped cilantro and jalapeño slices over the fillings, and drizzle extra barbecue sauce for added flavor and spice.
- Roll the wraps: Fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll up tightly from one end to form a wrap, making sure the filling stays secured inside.
- Toast the wraps (optional): For a warm and crispy finish, heat a skillet over medium heat and place each wrap seam-side down in the pan. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes on each side until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese melts slightly.
- Serve: Slice the wraps in half diagonally and serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- These wraps make a great lunch, easy meal prep option, or picnic food.
- Using pre-cooked rotisserie chicken speeds up prep time and adds extra flavor.
- For a Hawaiian flair, grill chicken with a pineapple or teriyaki marinade before shredding.
- You can substitute flour tortillas with whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas as preferred.
- Adjust spice level by controlling the amount of jalapeños or BBQ sauce used.
