Wraps Were Made for the Grill
There is something magical about the combination of open flame, smoke, and a warm tortilla. These BBQ wrap recipes are built to make the most of grilling season — big flavors, charred edges, and the kind of juiciness that runs down your arm.
1. Smoked Pulled Pork Wrap
Slow-smoked pork shoulder pulled apart and tossed in a tangy apple cider vinegar BBQ sauce. Topped with creamy coleslaw and bread and butter pickles inside a toasted brioche wrap. This is BBQ perfection rolled up.
2. Grilled Corn and Chipotle Chicken Wrap
Chicken thighs marinated in chipotle, lime, and garlic grilled until beautifully charred. Corn grilled directly on the cob until caramelized, then cut off. Combined with avocado, pickled jalapeños, and cotija cheese in a warm flour tortilla.
3. Grilled Halloumi and Vegetable Wrap
Thick slices of halloumi cheese grilled until golden and slightly crispy on the outside. Combined with grilled zucchini, red pepper, and red onion, finished with a mint and lemon yogurt sauce. Spectacular for vegetarians at the BBQ.
4. Korean BBQ Short Rib Wrap
Flanken-cut short ribs marinated in ganjang, sesame oil, ginger, and brown sugar — grilled fast over high heat. Served in warm ssam (lettuce leaves) with steamed rice, kimchi, and a smear of doenjang. Deeply satisfying.
5. Grilled Shrimp Taco Wrap
Large shrimp marinated in lime, garlic, cumin and smoked paprika. Grilled for 2 minutes per side. Served on warm corn tortillas with mango habanero salsa, shredded purple cabbage, and a drizzle of chipotle crema.
Tips for Grilling Tortillas
Always grill your tortillas for 20 to 30 seconds per side directly over medium heat before assembling. The light char marks add flavor, the heat makes them pliable, and it transforms a plain flour tortilla into something that tastes like it came from a street food stall.
