Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- 6 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup diced green onions
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken with BBQ sauce, ensuring the chicken is thoroughly coated and evenly mixed.
- Lay out the flour tortillas on a clean, flat surface. Spread the BBQ chicken mixture evenly across the center of each tortilla, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges.
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the chicken mixture, distributing it evenly across each tortilla.
- Scatter diced green onions over the cheese and chicken for added flavor and freshness.
- Carefully roll each tortilla tightly from one edge to the other, tucking in the sides as you roll to create a sealed wrap.
- Place the rolled tortillas seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching each other.
- Brush the tops of the roll-ups with a little extra BBQ sauce for added flavor and color.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes before slicing diagonally and serving hot.
- Optional: Serve with additional BBQ sauce, sour cream, or ranch dressing on the side for dipping.
Tips
- Use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken for maximum flavor and time-saving convenience.
- Warm your tortillas slightly before rolling to prevent cracking and make them more pliable.
- Don't overfill the tortillas - this can make rolling difficult and cause tearing.
- For extra crispiness, brush the roll-ups with a little olive oil before baking.
- Let the roll-ups rest for a few minutes after baking to help them set and make cutting easier.
- Experiment with different BBQ sauce varieties to find your perfect flavor profile.
- These roll-ups can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated before baking - perfect for meal prep!
