Ingredients

Why this recipe works

The combination of a high-heat bake and the honey butter glaze is essential for achieving the perfect texture.

The butter helps the wrap crisp up rapidly, while the honey provides a delicate sweetness that caramelizes under the heat, creating a beautiful golden color and a complex flavor profile that complements the smoky barbecue sauce perfectly.

Using a glass baking dish helps to distribute heat evenly, ensuring the cheese melts thoroughly while the bottom of the wraps remains structured. By placing the wraps seam-side down, the filling is secured, allowing the cheese to bubble up and meld with the bacon and chicken without leaking out during the cooking process.

Notes and substitutions

For the best results, use a high-quality barbecue sauce that fits your flavor preference, whether it is smoky, spicy, or sweet.

The shredded chicken can be prepared in advance or sourced from a store-bought rotisserie chicken to save significant time. Ensure the bacon is cooked until crisp before crumbling, as it will not gain additional crispness inside the wrap.

A standard glass baking dish is ideal for this recipe, but any oven-safe ceramic dish of a similar size will work. If the wraps feel loose, use a small toothpick to secure the seam before baking, removing them carefully before serving. Feel free to adjust the amount of honey in the glaze if a less sweet profile is preferred.

• Cheddar cheese: Monterey Jack or Mozzarella for a milder flavor and extra stretch
