Crispy BBQ Chicken Wraps

These crispy BBQ chicken wraps are a family favorite, packed with all the cheesy, saucy goodness of a BBQ chicken pizza wrapped in a golden, toasted tortilla. If you’re looking for easy dinner recipes, this one comes together with simple ingredients like cooked chicken, BBQ sauce, cheese, onion, cilantro, and tortillas.

You know it’s a hit when even the little ones ask for seconds, and that’s exactly what happens every time these are on the table. The filling can be prepped earlier in the day, which makes dinner feel much easier when things get busy in the evening.

It’s also a fun recipe to make together. Kids can help assemble the wraps, and using rotisserie chicken keeps things simple, though any cooked chicken works just as well.

One of the best parts is the texture. The wraps are pan-fried until the tortillas turn crispy and golden, giving you that satisfying crunch on the outside while keeping everything warm and melty inside.

The ingredients are straightforward and likely already in your kitchen, making this an easy go-to when you need something reliable. Serve them with fresh veggies and dip, a simple green salad, or baked sweet potato fries for a complete meal.

Prep Time 10 minutes

Cook Time 5 minutes

Total Time 15 minutes

Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken works great!)
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1/4 cup red onion, chopped
• 1/2 cup barbecue sauce, your favorite kind
• 4-5 large flour tortillas
• 2 Tablespoons oil, (vegetable or canola oil)

Instructions

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken, cheese, onion, cilantro, and BBQ sauce. Toss until evenly coated, adding more BBQ sauce if needed to taste.
2. Spoon about 1/2 cup of the mixture onto each tortilla. Roll tightly from one end, folding in the sides as you go, similar to a burrito.
3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add just enough oil to lightly coat the bottom, or use cooking spray. Once hot, place the wraps seam-side down in the pan.
4. Cook, turning every 1–2 minutes, until the wraps are golden, crispy on all sides, and heated through.
5. Serve immediately.
