Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Mixture
- 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
Wrap Assembly
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced (optional)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Chicken: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the shredded chicken and BBQ sauce. Toss well to ensure all the chicken is thoroughly coated in the sauce. Set aside.
- Make Coleslaw: In a separate bowl, mix the coleslaw mix with mayonnaise and apple cider vinegar. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir until the coleslaw is evenly coated and creamy.
- Prepare Tortilla: Lay one flour tortilla flat on a clean surface, ready for assembly.
- Add Chicken: Spread an even layer of the BBQ chicken mixture in the center of the tortilla.
- Add Coleslaw: Spoon a generous portion of the prepared coleslaw over the BBQ chicken in the tortilla center.
- Add Optional Toppings: Sprinkle chopped cilantro, add sliced avocado, and shredded cheddar cheese on top, if using, to enhance flavor and texture.
- Wrap it Up: Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it tightly from the bottom side to enclose all fillings securely.
- Repeat: Repeat the assembly steps with the remaining tortillas and ingredients until all wraps are made.
- Serve: Cut each wrap diagonally in half for easy handling and serve immediately while fresh and crisp.
Notes
- For a lighter option, use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise in the coleslaw.
- Substitute BBQ sauce with a spicy variety to add some heat.
- Use gluten-free tortillas to make the wraps gluten-free if needed.
- These wraps can be prepared ahead and refrigerated, but for best texture serve fresh.
- Adding grilled corn or black beans to the filling can provide extra flavor and nutrition.
