Description
Savor tender skillet chicken and smoky, crispy beef beef bacon, perfectly paired with gooey cheddar and tangy BBQ in a warm tortilla.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 8–12 slices beef turkey bacon
- 4 large flour tortillas (10–12 inch)
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce (or your preferred sauce)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare and cook the chicken. Pat chicken thighs dry, then season generously with garlic powder, black pepper, and a pinch of salt. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 5-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F). Remove from skillet, let rest for a few minutes, then shred or chop into bite-sized pieces.
- Step 2: Cook the beef turkey bacon. In the same skillet (or a separate one if preferred), cook the beef turkey bacon slices over medium heat until they are crispy. This usually takes 5-8 minutes, flipping occasionally. Once crispy, remove turkey bacon and place on a paper-towel-lined plate to drain excess grease. Once cooled slightly, chop the turkey bacon into small pieces.
- Step 3: Assemble the wraps. Lay out each large flour tortilla on a clean surface. Spread 2 tablespoons of BBQ sauce evenly over each tortilla, leaving a small border. Distribute the shredded chicken, chopped crispy beef beef bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese evenly among the four tortillas.
- Step 4: Crisp and melt the wraps. Fold the sides of each tortilla inward, then roll tightly from the bottom to create a sealed wrap. Heat a clean skillet or a grill pan over medium heat. Place the wraps seam-side down in the hot pan and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown, crispy, and the cheese is melted.
- Step 5: Serve immediately. Remove the crispy chicken beef beef bacon wraps from the pan. For easier eating, you can slice each wrap in half diagonally before serving. Enjoy warm!
Notes
- Store any leftover wraps individually wrapped in foil or plastic in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.
- To best recapture that delightful crispiness, reheat wraps in an air fryer or toaster oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-10 minutes until warmed through and golden.
- These savory wraps pair wonderfully with a simple side salad, some homemade coleslaw, or an extra ramekin of your favorite BBQ sauce for dipping.
- For an extra layer of flavor and tenderness, consider marinating your chicken thighs in a tablespoon of BBQ sauce for at least 20 minutes before cooking.
