Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced

1/2 cup BBQ sauce (use your favorite brand or a homemade version)

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into small cubes

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

4 large whole wheat or spinach tortillas

1 cup fresh spinach leaves

1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or pepper jack work well)

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional for garnish)

Squeeze of lime juice (optional for extra flavor)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a mixing bowl, toss the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper until evenly coated. Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 20–25 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized, turning them halfway through the cooking process for even roasting.

    Mix the Chicken with BBQ Sauce: While your sweet potatoes are in the oven, take a medium-sized bowl and combine the cooked chicken with the BBQ sauce. Stir until the chicken is thoroughly coated in the sauce. If you prefer your chicken warm, pop the bowl in the microwave for about 1-2 minutes to heat it before moving on to assembly.

      Assemble the Wraps: On a clean surface, lay out a tortilla flat. Start by placing a handful of fresh spinach leaves on top. Next, add a generous scoop of the BBQ chicken mixture, followed by the roasted sweet potatoes. Finish off by sprinkling shredded cheese and chopped cilantro on top, if desired. For an extra zing, squeeze some fresh lime juice over the filling.

        Wrap it Up: To form your wrap, fold the sides of the tortilla in towards the center, then roll it tightly from the bottom upwards, encasing all the delicious filling. If you want a crispy exterior, consider lightly grilling the wraps in a skillet over medium heat for 1–2 minutes on each side until the tortillas are golden and toasted.

          Serving: Once wrapped, slice each wrap diagonally in half. Serve them warm alongside a small bowl of extra BBQ sauce for dipping. Enjoy your flavorful BBQ Chicken & Sweet Potato Wraps as a satisfying meal!
