How to Make BBQ Chicken Cheese Wraps

Ingredients

• 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
• 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
• 1/2 onion, sliced and caramelized
• 1 cup shredded cheddar
• 4 tortillas

Directions

1. In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken with the BBQ sauce until well coated.
2. Take each tortilla and layer it with a portion of the BBQ chicken mixture, followed by some caramelized onions and a generous sprinkle of cheddar cheese.
3. Roll the tortilla tightly from one end to the other, making sure to tuck in the sides as you roll.
4. Place the wraps seam-side down in a skillet or on a baking sheet. Toast them in a skillet over medium heat or until the cheese melts, or bake them in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 10 minutes.
5. Once done, slice the wraps and drizzle with extra BBQ sauce for added flavor.
