Recipe Overview
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
Servings: 4 wraps
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie works great)
- ½ cup BBQ sauce (use your favorite brand or homemade)
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 cups coleslaw mix (cabbage and carrots)
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey or sugar
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter or oil (for toasting wraps)
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Make the coleslaw. In a bowl, mix coleslaw mix, mayo, vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
2. Prepare the chicken. Warm shredded chicken and toss with BBQ sauce until coated.
3. Assemble the wraps. Lay a tortilla flat, spread BBQ chicken in the center, top with coleslaw, and fold tightly like a burrito.
4. Toast the wraps. Heat butter or oil in a skillet and cook wraps seam-side down for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crisp.
5. Serve and enjoy. Slice in half and serve warm with extra BBQ sauce or ranch dressing.
