Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1/4 cup red onion, chopped
- 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 tablespoons oil, for frying
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, chopped red onion, fresh cilantro, and barbecue sauce. Toss everything together until well mixed.
- Take one large flour tortilla and layer about 1/2 cup of the chicken mixture onto it.
- Carefully start at one end of the tortilla and roll it up tightly, folding in the sides like a burrito to secure the filling.
- Place a skillet over medium-high heat and drizzle in enough oil to coat the bottom. Allow the oil to heat until it shimmers.
- Once the oil is hot, place the wraps seam side down in the skillet. Cook, turning every minute or two, until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 5 minutes total.
- Serve the crispy BBQ chicken wraps hot, with extra barbecue sauce for dipping if desired.
Notes
- Garnish with additional fresh cilantro for a vibrant touch.
- Serve with extra barbecue sauce or a spicy aioli on the side for an enhanced flavor.
- For make-ahead options, prepare the filling up to 24 hours in advance and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
- Assembled wraps can be refrigerated for up to 3 days before frying to maintain crispiness.
- To reheat, place the wraps in a skillet over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until hot and crispy.
