These Cinnamon Whiskey BBQ Chicken Wraps bring a unique twist to your regular chicken wraps with the addition of cinnamon whiskey in the BBQ sauce. The whiskey adds a warm, spiced flavor that perfectly complements the smoky and tangy barbecue sauce. Paired with tender chicken, crunchy vegetables, and a soft tortilla wrap, these wraps are perfect for a casual dinner or a picnic. The hint of cinnamon adds an unexpected but delightful warmth, making each bite as intriguing as it is delicious.
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
- 1/4 cup cinnamon whiskey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 red onion, thinly sliced
- 4 large tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish
- Optional: hot sauce for extra kick
Instructions:
- Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, mix the barbecue sauce, cinnamon whiskey, olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat them well in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for a deeper flavor.
- Cook the Chicken: Preheat a grill or a large skillet over medium-high heat. Grill or cook the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through and slightly charred. Remove from heat and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
- Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add a little olive oil if needed and sauté the red and green bell peppers and red onion until they are tender and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay the tortillas flat and sprinkle some shredded cheddar cheese on each. Add a portion of the sliced chicken, sautéed vegetables, and a few cilantro leaves. Drizzle with additional barbecue sauce or hot sauce if desired.
- Wrap and Serve: Roll up the tortillas tightly, tucking in the sides as you go. Slice in half and serve warm.
Enjoy these wraps with a side of coleslaw, chips, or a fresh salad for a complete meal!
