How do you Make a BBQ Chicken Wrap?
Begin by warming a large tortilla in the microwave for 15 seconds, or in a lightly greased skillet until warm. Feel free to add some butter to your warm tortilla if you fancy, then stack the cooked chicken, BBQ Sauce, sliced or grated cheddar, grilled onions, lettuce and tomatoes in the center of your tortilla.
Carefully roll the tortilla nice and tightly, slice down the middle and enjoy! With a prep time of less than 10 minutes, this BBQ Chicken Wrap is the ideal option for busy workdays!
Are Wraps Good for Meal Prep?
Wraps really do make the perfect versatile packed lunch or meal prep option. You’re best off storing the ingredients separately and assembling your wrap in the morning or when you are ready to eat, as if left for too long your salad and chicken may cause the wrap to become a little soggy.
Cooked chicken can last up to 3 days in the refrigerator, so this BBQ Chicken Wrap is a great option if you’d like to plan a couple of days’ lunches in advance.
What can I add to a BBQ Chicken Wrap?
The great thing about a BBQ Chicken Wrap is its simplicity. You can feel free to switch around any of the ingredients or salad options to make the perfect wrap for your unique taste buds! For example, you might like to add some crunchy lettuce or tomato for an extra fresh flavor and an added health kick. Alternatively, if you are into spiciness, add pickled jalapeño for an extra kick? The possibilities are endless!
