- Remove the chicken from the skewers and set aside.
- Heat the tortillas on the grill or in a pan until warm and pliable.
- To assemble the wraps, place a tortilla on a flat surface and add a few slices of grilled chicken, bell peppers, and red onion.
- Drizzle some of the remaining marinade over the filling.
- Sprinkle with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
- Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and roll it up tightly.
- Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
