Ingredients
  

  • Large flour tortillas: 4
  • Cooked chicken: 2 cups rotisserie, grilled, or leftover
  • BBQ sauce: ½ cup your choice
  • Shredded cheese: 1 cup cheddar, mozzarella, or your preference
  • Red onion: ½ diced
  • Fresh spinach or lettuce: 1 cup
  • Mayo optional: 2 tablespoons
  • Scallions optional: 2, sliced
  • Cooking oil: For the skillet

Instructions
 

Prep Your Ingredients: Chop the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces and finely dice the red onion.

    Mix the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the chopped chicken, BBQ sauce, and half of the shredded cheese. Toss until well coated.

      Warm the Tortillas: Place the tortillas on a microwave-safe plate and cover with a damp paper towel. Heat in the microwave for about 30 seconds to make them pliable.

        Assemble Your Wraps:

        • Lay a warm tortilla flat.
        • Spread a thin layer of mayo down the center (if using).
        • Add a handful of spinach or lettuce.
        • Spoon the BBQ chicken mixture on top.
        • Sprinkle with additional cheese, red onion, and scallions.

        Roll It Up: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll from the bottom up, tucking the sides as you go to secure the filling.

          Cook Until Crispy:

          • Heat a skillet over medium heat and coat lightly with cooking oil.
          • Place the wraps seam-side down and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy.

          Serve and Enjoy: Cut the wraps in half diagonally and serve immediately while hot and crispy.
