Ingredients
(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
- Shredded rotisserie chicken
- Sriracha or hot sauce
- White vinegar
- Worcestershire sauce
- Maple syrup
- Cayenne pepper
- Garlic, finely chopped
- Butter
- Avocado
- Mayonnaise
- Lemon juice
- Flour tortillas
- Lettuce leaves
- Pickled onions
- Shredded mozzarella cheese
Directions
- I start by making the sauce: in a bowl, I mix sriracha, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, maple syrup, and cayenne.
- I melt butter in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the garlic until fragrant.
- I pour the sauce into the skillet, let it simmer for 2 minutes, then stir in the shredded chicken and cook for another 2–3 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, I mash the avocado with mayo and lemon juice to create a creamy spread.
- I warm the tortillas slightly, then spread the avocado mixture over each one.
- I layer with lettuce, the spiced chicken, pickled onions, and a sprinkle of shredded cheese.
- I roll up each wrap tightly, slice in half, and serve.
Servings and Timing
This recipe makes 2 large wraps and takes about 25 minutes from start to finish—ideal for a quick and filling lunch or dinner.
Variations
- I sometimes add diced tomatoes, cucumbers, or bell peppers for more crunch.
- For extra heat, I mix chili flakes into the sauce or add jalapeño slices.
- Swapping mozzarella with pepper jack or cheddar gives the wrap a different flavor twist.
- A drizzle of ranch or chipotle dressing adds a creamy finish if I want a little extra.
Storage/Reheating
I store the filling and avocado mayo separately in the fridge for up to 2 days. To keep the tortillas from getting soggy, I assemble the wraps fresh right before eating. If needed, I reheat the chicken in a skillet or microwave until warmed through.
FAQs
Can I use a different type of tortilla?
Yes, I like using whole wheat, spinach, or gluten-free tortillas depending on what I have.
How do I make it dairy-free?
Skip the cheese or use a dairy-free version, and substitute the mayo with a vegan alternative.
Can I make this wrap ahead of time?
The components can be made ahead, but I recommend assembling the wrap just before serving to keep it fresh and crisp.
What can I serve with this?
I usually serve it with a simple salad, chips, or fruit on the side to round out the meal.
Is this recipe spicy?
It has a mild heat from the sriracha and cayenne, but I adjust both to my taste or omit them for a milder version.
Conclusion
Flavorful Rotisserie Chicken Wraps are one of my favorite ways to use up leftover chicken. They’re quick, fresh, and packed with layers of flavor. Whether I’m meal-prepping or need something fast and delicious, these wraps never disappoint.
