Description

Quick, flavorful BBQ Chicken Wraps packed with smoky-sweet chicken, creamy coleslaw, and crunchy veggies all wrapped in warm tortillas. These family-approved wraps are flexible, easy to prep, and perfect for weeknight dinners, lunches, or casual gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded

  • 1 cup BBQ sauce

  • 4 large (10-inch) tortillas

  • 2 cups green cabbage, finely shredded

  • 1 cup carrots, grated

  • ½ cup mayonnaise or Greek yogurt

  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

  • ¼ tsp salt

  • ¼ tsp black pepper

  • Optional add-ins: diced bell peppers, chopped cilantro, hot sauce, sliced avocado, shredded cheddar or feta


Instructions

  • Warm the chicken: In a skillet over medium heat, lightly spray with oil. Add shredded chicken and stir for 2–3 minutes. Mix in BBQ sauce and simmer 3–4 minutes until warmed through.

  • Make the coleslaw: In a bowl, toss cabbage and carrots. In a separate bowl, whisk mayonnaise (or yogurt), apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper. Pour dressing over veggies and toss well. Add optional peppers, cilantro, or hot sauce. Rest for 10 minutes.

  • Warm the tortillas: Heat tortillas in a dry skillet for 30–45 seconds per side until pliable.

  • Assemble: Place ¼ of the BBQ chicken in the center of each tortilla. Top with ½ cup coleslaw, avocado slices, and cheese (if desired). Fold sides inward and roll tightly from the bottom. Toast seam-side down for 1–2 minutes for extra sturdiness.

  • Serve: Enjoy warm with extra BBQ sauce or a squeeze of lime.

Notes

Use leftover rotisserie chicken to save prep time.

Wrap finished wraps in parchment paper to keep them intact.

Store chicken and slaw separately to avoid soggy tortillas.

Add crushed tortilla chips for extra texture.

To meal prep, pack components separately and assemble fresh.
