Ingredients

Scale

BBQ Chicken

  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce

Coleslaw

  • 2 cups coleslaw mix (pre-packaged or homemade)
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Wraps and Toppings

  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced (optional)
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the BBQ Chicken: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the shredded chicken with BBQ sauce, making sure the chicken is fully coated. Set aside to allow the flavors to meld.
  2. Make the Coleslaw: In a separate bowl, mix the coleslaw mix with mayonnaise and apple cider vinegar. Season with salt and pepper to taste and stir until everything is well combined and creamy.
  3. Lay Out Tortillas: Place a flour tortilla flat on a clean surface, ready for assembly.
  4. Layer Chicken: Spread an even portion of the BBQ chicken mixture in the center of the tortilla, forming a base layer.
  5. Add Coleslaw: Spoon a generous amount of prepared coleslaw over the BBQ chicken to add crunch and creaminess.
  6. Add Optional Toppings: Sprinkle chopped cilantro, arrange sliced avocado, and add shredded cheddar cheese on top of the coleslaw if using, for extra flavor and texture.
  7. Roll the Wrap: Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to enclose the fillings securely.
  8. Repeat Assembly: Follow steps 3 to 7 for the remaining tortillas and filling ingredients until all wraps are assembled.
  9. Serve: Cut each wrap diagonally in half and serve immediately for best freshness and taste.

Notes

  • You can use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken to save time.
  • If you prefer a spicier wrap, add a dash of hot sauce to the BBQ chicken mixture.
  • For a lighter version, substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt in the coleslaw.
  • Wraps are best served fresh but can be wrapped tightly in foil and refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
  • Try using whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas to suit dietary preferences.
