Saucy BBQ chicken and sharp cheddar folded into tortillas, then toasted until crisp and melty in a skillet.
# Ingredients:
For the filling
01 -
2 cups (280 g) cooked shredded chicken
02 -
1/2 cup (120 ml) thick barbecue sauce, plus more for dipping
03 -
2 cups (225 g) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
04 -
1/4 cup (35 g) finely chopped red onion
05 -
1/4 cup (10 g) chopped fresh cilantro
06 -
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, optional
07 -
Salt and black pepper, to taste
For the wraps
08 -
4 large flour tortillas, 10-inch size
09 -
2 tablespoons neutral oil, such as canola or avocado oil
# Instructions:
01 -
In a medium bowl, stir together the chicken, barbecue sauce, cheddar, red onion, cilantro, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. The mixture should be coated but not soupy.
02 -
Warm the tortillas for 10-15 seconds in the microwave or in a dry skillet so they fold without cracking.
03 -
Place about 1/2 cup of filling on the lower third of each tortilla. Fold in the sides, then roll tightly into a burrito shape.
04 -
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add the wraps seam-side down and cook for 1-2 minutes, until the seam is sealed and golden.
05 -
Turn the wraps every 1-2 minutes until golden and crisp on all sides and the cheese is melted, about 5-6 minutes total. Rest for 1 minute, then slice and serve with extra BBQ sauce.
# Good to know:
01 -
Best served hot from the skillet while the tortilla is crisp.
02 -
Use thick BBQ sauce for the neatest filling.
03 -
The filling can be made up to 2 days ahead.
