Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Sauce

  • 2 chicken breasts, grilled and shredded
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce

Coleslaw

  • 1/2 small red cabbage, shredded
  • 1/2 small green cabbage, shredded
  • 1 carrot, grated
  • 1/4 cup green onions, sliced

Dressing

  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Wraps and Garnish

  • 4 large tortillas
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. Grill the Chicken: Preheat a grill to medium heat. Cook the chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked through. Remove from heat and shred the chicken using two forks.
  2. Toss Chicken with BBQ Sauce: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken with the BBQ sauce, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Set aside.
  3. Prepare the Coleslaw: In a separate bowl, mix together the shredded red cabbage, green cabbage, grated carrot, and sliced green onions.
  4. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper. Pour this dressing over the cabbage mixture and toss thoroughly until evenly coated.
  5. Assemble the Wraps: Lay the large tortillas flat on a clean surface. Place a generous amount of BBQ chicken in the center of each tortilla, then add a good layer of the prepared coleslaw on top.
  6. Wrap and Garnish: Fold the sides of the tortillas over the filling and roll them up tightly to form the wraps. Slice each wrap in half and garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.

Notes

  • Use leftover grilled chicken for a quicker preparation.
  • Adjust BBQ sauce quantity depending on desired sauciness.
  • For a healthier option, use low-fat mayonnaise or a yogurt-based dressing.
  • Warm tortillas slightly before assembling for easier rolling.
  • These wraps can be made ahead and stored refrigerated for a few hours; add fresh cilantro just before serving.
