Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2/3 cup chopped pineapple, fresh or canned and well drained
- 1/4 red onion, finely chopped
- 1 romaine heart, chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 4 large flour tortillas, white or whole wheat
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the chicken pieces and season with salt and black pepper. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F.
- Remove the skillet from the heat. Add the barbecue sauce and toss until the chicken is evenly coated.
- Place one tortilla on a plate or cutting board. Add one-fourth of the barbecue chicken, mozzarella, pineapple, red onion, romaine, and cilantro.
- Fold in the sides, then roll the tortilla tightly in a burrito style. Secure with a toothpick if needed.
- Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Drain canned pineapple well to keep the wraps from becoming soggy.
- Warm the tortillas for 10 to 15 seconds before filling so they roll without tearing.
- Monterey Jack, cheddar, or a Mexican cheese blend can replace the mozzarella.
- For meal prep, store the chicken and fresh toppings separately and assemble just before serving.
- Rotisserie chicken may be used for an even faster version.
- Serve with coleslaw, sweet potato fries, corn salad, or extra barbecue sauce for dipping.
