What You Need for Your BBQ Loaded Wraps


To make these wraps, gather your leftover BBQ meats such as brisket, pulled pork, grilled chicken, or even burgers. You’ll also want:


  • Large flour tortillas or wraps for easy rolling

  • Leftover coleslaw for crunch and tang

  • Pickles or pickled onions to add a sharp bite

  • Cheese slices or shredded cheese for richness

  • Lettuce or any leftover grilled vegetables for freshness

  • Extra BBQ sauce or spicy mayo to boost flavor

  • A dash of Woodland Embers Smoked Salt


Sep-by-Step Guide to Building Your Wrap


Warm the Meat  

Reheat your leftover meat, that have been seasoned with Smoking Blue Bonnet, in a skillet or microwave. Add a splash of BBQ sauce to keep it moist and flavorful.

Toast the Tortillas  

Lightly toast the tortillas in a dry skillet. This adds a subtle crispness and prevents the wrap from becoming soggy.

layer Your Ingredients  

Start with a base of warm meat, then add a generous scoop of coleslaw. Next, place cheese slices or sprinkle shredded cheese on top. Add pickles or pickled onions , and finish with lettuce or grilled veggies for a fresh crunch.

Add Sauce and Roll  

Drizzle extra BBQ sauce or spicy mayo over the fillings. Roll the wrap tightly to keep everything inside.

Optional Grill for Crispiness  

If you like a crispy outside, grill the rolled wrap briefly in a skillet. This melts the cheese and seals the wrap, making it easier to eat.


Tips for Making the Best BBQ Wraps


  • Mix and match meats: Combine brisket with pulled pork or grilled chicken for a variety of flavors.

  • Use fresh veggies: Even if you don’t have leftover grilled vegetables, fresh lettuce or sliced tomatoes work well.

  • Cheese choice matters: Cheddar, pepper jack, or smoked gouda all complement BBQ flavors nicely.

  • Wrap tightly: Rolling the wrap firmly helps keep the ingredients from falling out and makes it easier to eat on the go.
