Ingredients for BBQ Chicken Wrap
You only need a handful of ingredients to make these tasty wraps. Gather these ingredients:
Grill the Chicken
Preheat your grill over medium-high heat. While the grill is heating, prepare the chicken.
Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and cover with plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet or even a rolling pin, pound out the chicken until it’s the same thickness throughout and about 1/2-inch thick.
Season both sides of the chicken with salt, pepper and garlic pepper then place on the grill. Cook for 3 minutes, then flip and brush seared side with barbecue sauce. Cook another 3 to 4 minutes.
Flip and brush second side with barbecue. After a minute, flip again to cook for about 30 seconds to get the sauce nice and sticky.
Remove from the grill and allow to rest for about 3 minutes before slicing into bite-size chunks.
Assemble the BBQ Chicken Wrap
Lay out a tortilla on your plate. Add chicken to the center than top with shredded lettuce, cheese, tortilla strips and a hefty drizzle of ranch dressing.
Fold in one side, then fold in the edges and roll. Slice in half and serve.
How to Make Ahead
This bbq chicken wrap is a great make ahead option. Cook and dice the chicken then refrigerate. Shred your lettuce and cheese (or buy them pre-shredded for ease).
Then when you’re ready to eat, all you have to do is assemble.
