Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (leftover rotisserie chicken works great)

Coleslaw

  • 2 cups shredded cabbage (mix green and purple for color)
  • 1 large carrot, grated

Dressing

  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Other

  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand or homemade)
  • 4 large soft tortillas or wraps

Instructions

  1. Prepare the coleslaw base: In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage and grated carrot, mixing them well to evenly distribute the vegetables.
  2. Make the coleslaw dressing: In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined to form the dressing.
  3. Toss coleslaw with dressing: Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrot mixture, tossing thoroughly to coat everything evenly. Refrigerate the coleslaw for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the vegetables to crisp up.
  4. Coat chicken with BBQ sauce: In another bowl, mix the shredded cooked chicken with the BBQ sauce until all the chicken is well coated with sauce for maximum flavor.
  5. Warm the tortillas: Gently warm the tortillas to make them more pliable and easier to roll without tearing.
  6. Assemble the wraps: Lay a warmed tortilla flat on a clean surface, spoon a generous amount of the BBQ chicken down the center, then top it with a good portion of the dressed coleslaw.
  7. Roll and serve: Carefully roll the tortilla tightly into a wrap, ensuring the fillings stay inside. Serve the wraps immediately or wrap tightly in foil to store for later consumption.

Notes

  • Add sliced jalapeños or a splash of hot sauce to the coleslaw for a spicy kick.
  • Substitute cabbage with kale or romaine lettuce for a different fresh texture.
  • Experiment with different sauces like chipotle BBQ or teriyaki for various flavor profiles.
  • For a vegetarian option, replace chicken with grilled tofu or roasted chickpeas.
  • Use gluten-free tortillas to make this recipe gluten-free.
  • Store wraps in the fridge for up to 2 days; keep coleslaw separate to preserve its crunchiness.
