Servings: 2 wraps
Calories: 536kcal
Equipment
- Frying Pan
- Air Fryer optional
Ingredients
- 2 medium tortilla wraps
- 225 g ( 8oz) cooked chicken chopped into bite-sized chunks
- 3 tablespoon BBQ sauce
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- ½ medium red onion finely diced
- 75 g ( 2.5oz ) cheddar cheese grated
Instructions
- Chop the cooked chicken into small chunks and put it in a mixing bowl. Add the BBQ sauce, mayo and chopped red onion. Give it all a good mix until the chicken’s nicely coated.
- Lay out your wraps and spoon the chicken mixture down the middle. Top with grated cheese.
- Fold in the sides, then roll the wrap up from the bottom so everything stays tucked in.
- Toast the wrap either in the air fryer at 200˚C for 5–7 minutes (flip halfway) or in a dry frying pan over medium heat for a couple of minutes on each side, until golden and the cheese is melted.
Notes
- Leftover Chicken: This recipe is ideal for using up leftover roast chicken, but you can also cook some fresh chicken just for it. Let it cool slightly before mixing so the sauce sticks better.
- Grated Cheese Tip: For best results, grate your own cheese from a block – it melts much better than pre-grated, which often has anti-caking agents that stop it going gooey.
- Wraps: Use whatever wraps you like – plain, wholemeal or gluten-free. If your wraps feel a bit stiff, pop them in the microwave for 10 seconds before rolling.
- Make Ahead: You can prep the chicken filling up to 2–3 days in advance and store it in the fridge in an airtight container.
- Freezing: The BBQ chicken filling can be frozen once cooled. Defrost overnight in the fridge and give it a stir before using.
