This barbecue chicken wrap recipe is the perfect make-ahead meal. We usually make them early in the week so that my husband has a grab-and-go lunch every day. They are packed with protein and flavor, and even my toddlers like them!
How to Make a Barbecue Chicken Wrap
Preheat the oven to 350° Fahrenheit. Add the olive oil to a frying pan and heat it on medium. Saute the diced onion and jalapeño for 1 minute, until the onion starts to turn translucent . Then add the minced garlic and cook them for another 2-3 minutes. Turn off the stove and let the onion and jalapeño cool
In a large bowl, stir together the shredded rotisserie chicken, onion and jalapeño, cilantro, and shredded cheese until well mixed. Then add some of the barbecue sauce and mix it well. You can start with a cup of barbecue sauce and add more to your liking. Our favorite is Sweet Baby Ray's, but you can use whatever brand you like best.
Divide the chicken mix evenly onto 6 burrito-size tortillas (or 10 smaller tortillas) and fold them burrito style. Spray cooking oil onto a baking sheet and place the wraps fold-down onto the sheet. Bake in oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the tortilla is crispy and the center is heated through.
You can keep the leftovers in the refrigerator and heat them in the microwave. They stay fresh for about 4 days, so these are great for lunch meal prep!
