- 125 g grated mozzarella or cheddar, see notes
- 4 large wraps
- 1 tablespoon sunflower oil optional, for frying

Instructions
Prepare the Chicken:
- If you're using whole chicken breasts or chunks of meat, shred the chicken using two forks or a mixer (as seen in the video for a quick hack).
- Place the shredded chicken in a large bowl.
Mix the Filling:
- Add the sweetcorn, finely chopped red onion, cream cheese, barbecue sauce, and grated cheese to the bowl with the chicken.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix everything together until fully combined.
Assemble the Wraps:
- Divide the chicken mixture evenly between the wraps.
- Spoon the mixture into the center of each wrap.
- Fold the sides of the wrap inward and tightly roll it up.
Optional – Serve or Fry:
- For immediate serving: You can serve the wraps as is, or refrigerate them for later use (perfect for picnics or lunches).
- For frying: Heat the sunflower oil (if using) in a sauté pan over medium-low heat.
- Add the wraps and fry for about 4-5 minutes until golden on one side.
- Flip the wraps over and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes until golden all over.
- Make sure the heat is low to allow the cheese to melt before the outside gets too crispy.
