Ingredients
Here’s a list of everything you’ll need to make these wraps come to life:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup BBQ sauce (use your favorite brand or homemade)
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
For a twist, you can substitute the chicken with grilled shrimp or even tofu for a vegetarian option. Feel free to customize the fillings based on your preferences or what you have on hand—this recipe is all about making it your own!
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create a meal that will transport you to a backyard barbecue:
- Start by marinating the chicken breasts. In a bowl, combine the chicken with the BBQ sauce, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight for deeper flavor.
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken breasts and cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and slightly charred. Remove from the skillet and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into strips.
- Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave to make them pliable.
- Assemble the wraps by spreading a generous layer of ranch dressing onto each tortilla. Then, layer the shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced chicken, and shredded cheese on top.
- Roll up the tortillas tightly, tucking in the sides as you go, to create a neat wrap.
- For an extra touch, garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
From my experience, letting the chicken rest after cooking allows the juices to redistribute, making every bite juicy and flavorful. Trust me, it’s worth the wait!
