Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 ripe tomato, sliced
- 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup corn kernels (frozen or fresh)
- 2 tablespoons optional fresh cilantro, chopped
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- If your chicken isn’t already cooked, flavor it lightly with salt, pepper, and a splash of water or light broth, then quickly sauté or grill until fully cooked. Let it rest a minute, then shred.
- In a small bowl, mix the shredded chicken with the BBQ sauce until everything is evenly coated and glossy.
- Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet for about 20-30 seconds per side, or in a microwave wrapped in a damp towel for 15-20 seconds to make them pliable.
- Lay a tortilla on a clean surface. In a line down the center, start with a bed of lettuce, then add chicken mixed with BBQ sauce, sliced tomato, red onion, corn, and shredded cheese. Top with cilantro if using.
- Fold the sides over the filling, then roll tightly from the bottom to form a burrito-like wrap. If needed, secure with a toothpick or wrap the end with a thin slice of lettuce to help keep it closed.
- Repeat with the remaining tortillas and fillings. Slice each wrap in half on a diagonal for a prettier presentation.
- If you like a slightly crisp finish, place the wrapped wraps seam side down in a hot skillet for 1-2 minutes per side, just until the cheese starts to melt and the tortilla develops a light crust.
