Scale
Main Ingredients
- 4 cooked chicken breasts (about 600g, shredded)
- 325g sweetcorn (1 tin, drained)
- 1/2 red onion (finely chopped)
- 100g cream cheese
- 2 tbsp barbecue sauce
- 125g grated mozzarella or cheddar cheese
- 4 large wraps
- 1 tbsp sunflower oil (optional for frying)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: Shred the cooked chicken breasts using two forks or a mixer until you have fine, manageable pieces as shown in the recipe video; this makes the filling easy to mix and wrap.
- Mix filling: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, drained sweetcorn, finely chopped red onion, cream cheese, barbecue sauce, grated cheese, and salt and pepper. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Assemble wraps: Divide the chicken mixture evenly among the four large wraps, placing the filling in the center of each wrap.
- Roll wraps: Fold the sides of each wrap inward, then roll tightly from one end to the other to enclose the filling securely.
- Optional frying: If you prefer a crispy wrap, heat the sunflower oil in a sauté pan over medium-low heat. Place each wrap seam-side down and cook for 4-5 minutes until golden, then flip and cook the other side for another 4-5 minutes. Keep the heat low to allow the cheese inside to melt thoroughly without burning the outside.
- Serve: Serve the wraps immediately while warm and crispy, or wrap them up for lunches or picnics. They taste great both hot and cold.
Notes
- If using raw chicken breasts, be sure to cook them thoroughly before shredding.
- You can substitute sweetcorn with canned or fresh kernels based on availability.
- For a vegetarian version, replace chicken with cooked jackfruit or chickpeas and use vegetarian barbecue sauce.
- The cheese meltiness is important, so do not skip the optional frying if you want a gooey texture.
- Adjust seasoning with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
