Barbecue Chicken Wraps

Barbecue Chicken Wraps

It’s easy to quickly sauté the chicken and veggie filling ahead of time for these hearty burritos—or use leftover shredded chicken, tossed with the barbecue sauce. Then just spoon in crunchy cabbage and shredded carrot with the rest of the filling.
Prep Time: 20 minutes Cook Time: 5 minutes Yield: Makes 5 wraps

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cups shredded cabbage
1 cup shredded carrot
1/4 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
5 to 8 (20 ounces) Just BARE® Hand-Trimmed Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs, sliced into 1/2-inch strips
1/3 cup barbecue sauce
5 (8-inch) whole-wheat flour tortillas, warmed
1-1/4 cup refried black beans

Directions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in skillet over medium-high heat. Add cabbage and carrot; sauté for 4 minutes or until nearly tender. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from skillet.
  2. Heat the remaining olive oil in skillet; add chicken. Cook and stir for about 8 minutes or until no longer pink in center. Stir in the barbecue sauce.
  3. To assemble the wraps, spread the bottom half of each tortilla with beans, then top with sautéed cabbage mixture and chicken. Fold and roll up like a burrito. Eat by hand or wrap in waxed paper to eat on the go.

Tips

For something a little different than tortillas, look for soft wheat lavash in the deli section. It’s a flat bread designed for wrapped or rolled up sandwiches.
