Today’s recipe for crispy chicken bbq wraps are basically a variation on the bbq chicken sandwich. Everyone loved these when we had them for dinner. I mean you can’t really lose with bbq sauce and chicken.
For the chicken, you can cook your own with your favorite method. I like to cook mine up in the instant pot. However, a rotisserie chicken from the store is another good option to use in these.
In addition to the juicy bbq chicken in there, you have shredded cheese, red onion, and fresh cilantro. It all get wrapped inside a burrito sized flour tortilla. I think that cilantro compliments to bbq flavor so well. Now, it could end there but it doesn’t.
These chicken wraps get crispy on the outside by brushing them with a little oil. Then they get placed in a skillet warmed over medium heat. You just turn them every minute or so until the tortilla is tasty brown and crisp. You could even cook these bad boys in a panini press too and skip the skillet.
