These Honey BBQ Chicken Wraps are a quick and delicious meal featuring tender shredded chicken coated in a sweet and tangy honey BBQ sauce, combined with fresh vegetables and melted cheese, all wrapped in warm flour tortillas. Perfect for a weeknight dinner or a satisfying lunch, these wraps bring together smoky grilled chicken with crisp romaine, juicy cherry tomatoes, and creamy avocado slices for a balanced and flavorful bite.

Ingredients

Chicken and Sauce

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (leftover chicken works great; ensure it’s warmed through)
  • 1/2 cup honey BBQ sauce

Wrap Components

  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup romaine lettuce, chopped
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or pepper jack)
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: avocado slices for garnish

Instructions

  1. Coat the chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with the honey BBQ sauce, stirring until all the chicken pieces are evenly coated with the sauce for maximum flavor.
  2. Preheat the grill: Heat your grill or grill pan over medium heat to prepare for cooking the chicken mixture, ensuring it’s hot enough to warm the chicken thoroughly.
  3. Prepare tortillas: Lay the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface or plate to have them ready for assembling the wraps.
  4. Grill the chicken: Place the honey BBQ coated chicken on the hot grill; cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally to heat the chicken evenly and allow some slight caramelization.
  5. Cool the chicken: Remove the grilled chicken from the heat and let it cool slightly to make it easier to handle when assembling the wraps.
  6. Layer the fillings: On each tortilla, evenly spread out the chopped romaine lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, shredded cheese, and thinly sliced red onion, seasoning with salt and pepper if desired.
  7. Add the chicken: Distribute an equal portion of the warm BBQ chicken mixture on top of the vegetable layer on each tortilla.
  8. Garnish (optional): Add avocado slices on top of the chicken filling for added creaminess and flavor, if you like.
  9. Roll the wraps: Fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll tightly to enclose the fillings securely, forming neat wraps.
  10. Serve: Serve the wraps immediately on a platter for optimal freshness, or wrap them in foil to enjoy as a portable meal later.

Notes

  • Leftover cooked chicken works perfectly, saving cooking time.
  • Feel free to substitute flour tortillas with whole wheat or gluten-free options.
  • For spicier wraps, add a dash of hot sauce or some sliced jalapeños.
  • These wraps can be prepared ahead of time but are best served fresh to keep the tortillas from becoming soggy.
  • Customize the cheese based on your preference; Monterey Jack or mozzarella work well too.
