Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Mixture
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
Coleslaw Mix
- 2 cups coleslaw mix (pre-packaged or homemade)
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste
Wrap Ingredients
- 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 the BBQ Chicken: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the shredded chicken and BBQ sauce. Mix thoroughly to ensure the chicken is evenly coated with the sauce. Set aside.
- Make the Coleslaw: In a separate bowl, combine the coleslaw mix, mayonnaise, and apple cider vinegar. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then stir until well incorporated and creamy.
- Lay Out Tortilla: Place one flour tortilla flat on a clean surface, ready for assembly.
- Add Chicken Filling: Spread a portion of the BBQ chicken mixture evenly in the center of the tortilla, distributing it for an even flavor in every bite.
- Top with Coleslaw: Spoon a generous amount of the coleslaw mixture over the chicken, adding crunch and tang.
- Add Optional Toppings: Sprinkle chopped fresh cilantro, arrange sliced avocado, and sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the coleslaw for enhanced taste and texture, if using.
- Roll the Wrap: Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then tightly roll it up starting from the bottom to enclose the fillings securely.
- Repeat Assembly: Repeat the previous steps with the remaining tortillas and filling ingredients until all wraps are assembled.
- Serve: Slice each wrap diagonally in half for easy eating and serve immediately to enjoy maximum freshness.
Notes
- You can substitute flour tortillas with whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas if preferred.
- For a spicier kick, add a dash of hot sauce or chopped jalapeños to the BBQ chicken mixture.
- These wraps are best served fresh but can be wrapped tightly and refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
- For a lighter version, use low-fat mayonnaise or Greek yogurt in the coleslaw.
- Shredded rotisserie chicken works great for a time-saving option.
