A quick and flavorful wrap combining tangy BBQ sauce, melted sharp cheddar cheese, crispy fried onions, and fresh veggies, perfect for a satisfying handheld meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie chicken works great)
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand)
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Large flour tortillas (10-12 inch)
  • 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded lettuce (iceberg or romaine)
  • 23 thin slices of tomato
  • 2 tablespoons crispy fried onions
  • Optional: sliced jalapeños, avocado slices, or pickles

Instructions

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine shredded cooked chicken with BBQ sauce and mayonnaise. Mix well until evenly coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Warm each flour tortilla for about 20 seconds on each side to make them pliable.
  3. Lay a warmed tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread 1/4 cup of the BBQ-mayo chicken mixture down the center.
  4. Sprinkle 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese evenly over the sauce.
  5. Add shredded lettuce, tomato slices, and crispy fried onions on top of the cheese.
  6. Fold the bottom edge of the tortilla over the filling, then fold the sides in and roll tightly until sealed.
  7. Return the wrap to the skillet seam-side down. Press gently with a spatula and cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottom is golden and crispy.
  8. Flip carefully and toast the other side for another 2-3 minutes until cheese is melted and tortilla is crisp.
  9. Slice the wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately while warm.

Notes

Warm tortillas before assembly to prevent cracking. Mix BBQ sauce with mayonnaise to keep the wrap from getting soggy. Press the wrap gently while toasting to melt cheese evenly and crisp the tortilla. Crispy onions add a satisfying crunch; if unavailable, use thinly sliced raw red onions tossed in vinegar. Wraps can be assembled ahead and refrigerated, then toasted before serving.
