Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (preferably leftover rotisserie chicken)
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand or homemade)
  • 4 large tortillas (flour or corn)
  • 2 cups green cabbage, finely shredded (fresh)
  • 1 cup carrots, grated
  • ½ cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt as a healthier alternative)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Optional Add-ons

  • 1 cup diced bell peppers
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce
  • Avocado slices
  • Shredded cheddar or feta cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare the BBQ Chicken: If using leftover rotisserie chicken, shred it into bite-sized pieces. If cooking fresh chicken, heat a splash of oil in a skillet over medium heat, add the chicken, and cook for 6-8 minutes until no longer pink. Add BBQ sauce and stir to coat the chicken well. Let it simmer for a few minutes to absorb the smoky flavor. Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F using a meat thermometer.
  2. Make the Coleslaw: In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage and grated carrots. In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper to create a creamy dressing. Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrots, tossing until evenly coated. For extra flavor and texture, add diced bell peppers or a pinch of hot sauce. Let the coleslaw rest for 10 minutes to meld flavors and enhance crunchiness.
  3. Assemble the Wraps: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon a generous portion of BBQ chicken onto the center, followed by a handful of coleslaw. Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly from the bottom, securing the filling inside. Wrap tightly to prevent falling apart and slice in half diagonally for presentation if desired.

Notes

  • Use leftover rotisserie chicken to save time and add flavor.
  • Let coleslaw sit for 10 minutes before serving for improved flavor blending.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken is cooked safely and perfectly.
  • Wrap the assembled tortillas tightly to avoid unwrapping while eating.
  • Customize with add-ons like avocado, cheese, or hot sauce to suit your taste.
  • Visit local farmers’ markets for the freshest and crispiest produce.
