Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Chicken and Sauce
  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken Store-bought rotisserie works well
  • 1 cup barbecue sauce Homemade or store-bought
Coleslaw Mix
  • 3 cups coleslaw mix Shredded cabbage and carrots
  • ½ cup mayonnaise Or Greek yogurt for a lighter option
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar For added tang
  • Salt and pepper To taste
Wraps
  • Whole wheat tortillas Or lettuce leaves for a low-carb option

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with the barbecue sauce. Mix until evenly coated. Tip: For extra flavor, heat the mixture in a microwave for 1-2 minutes.
  2. In another bowl, combine the coleslaw mix, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper. Stir until the vegetables are well covered. Should your coleslaw feel too thick, add a splash of water or more vinegar for balance.
Assembly
  1. Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Place a generous portion of the BBQ chicken mixture in the center, followed by a spoonful of coleslaw. Pro tip: Don’t overfill; it’ll make rolling difficult!
  2. Gently fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll from the bottom up to encase the fillings. Slice in half, and voilà! Your wrap is ready.

Notes

Consider adding a splash of hot sauce for a zesty kick. For mini versions, use smaller tortillas or make sliders. Leftovers can be stored in separate airtight containers for up to three days. You can freeze the chicken mixture for future meals; simply reheat it when ready.
