Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and BBQ Sauce

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

Coleslaw

  • 2 cups coleslaw mix
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
  • 1/4 cup sliced green onions (optional)

Wraps

  • 4 large flour tortillas

Instructions

  1. Prepare Chicken: In a medium bowl, toss the shredded cooked chicken breast with BBQ sauce until it is fully and evenly coated, ensuring the flavors are well distributed.
  2. Make Coleslaw: In a separate bowl, combine the coleslaw mix with mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper. Stir gently to blend the dressing with the cabbage mixture without crushing it.
  3. Add Optional Ingredients: Fold in the chopped fresh cilantro and sliced green onions to the coleslaw mixture to add freshness and a mild bite, if using.
  4. Assemble Wraps: Lay each flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon a portion of the BBQ chicken mixture in the center of the tortilla, then add an ample amount of the coleslaw on top.
  5. Roll Wraps: Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it tightly from the bottom up to secure the filling inside, creating a neat, portable wrap.
  6. Repeat: Repeat the assembly and rolling process with the remaining tortillas and filling until all wraps are prepared.
  7. Cut Wraps: Using a sharp knife, cut each wrap in half diagonally to create two manageable pieces that are easy to hold and eat.
  8. Serve: Serve the wraps immediately for the best texture and flavor contrast between the warm BBQ chicken and crisp coleslaw.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free version, substitute the flour tortillas with gluten-free wraps or large lettuce leaves.
  • You can adjust the sweetness and tang in the coleslaw dressing by varying the sugar and apple cider vinegar amounts to your taste.
  • Leftover wraps can be wrapped tightly in foil and refrigerated for up to 1 day but are best enjoyed fresh.
  • Add a few dashes of hot sauce to the BBQ chicken for a spicy kick.
  • To make this dish lower in fat, substitute half the mayonnaise with plain Greek yogurt.
