Why You Will Love This Recipe

My grandma used to make the best coleslaw – always a hit at summer barbecues. These BBQ Chicken Coleslaw Wraps are my way of taking that comforting, familiar taste and making it a little bit more modern, a little bit healthier, and a whole lot easier to enjoy even when time is tight. It’s a taste of nostalgia with a convenient twist!

Ingredients

For the BBQ Chicken:

  • 1 pound cooked chicken breast, shredded
  • ½ cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand!)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

For the Coleslaw:

  • 4 cups shredded coleslaw mix
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

For the Wraps:

  • 6 large tortillas (whole wheat or gluten-free)
  • Optional: shredded cheddar cheese, chopped cilantro, sliced green onions, avocado

Step-by-Step Instructions for Making the Recipe

  1. Prepare the BBQ Chicken: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, BBQ sauce, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly.
  2. Make the Coleslaw: In a separate large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.
  3. Combine Coleslaw Mix: Add the shredded coleslaw mix to the dressing and toss to combine.
  4. Assemble the Wraps: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface.
  5. Add Chicken and Coleslaw: Spoon about ½ cup of the BBQ chicken onto the center of the tortilla. Top with ½ cup of the coleslaw.
  6. Optional Toppings: Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese, chopped cilantro, sliced green onions, avocado if desired.
  7. Wrap it Up: Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom.
  8. Serve: Serve immediately. For best results, you can warm the chicken before adding it to the wrap. You can also refrigerate the wraps for later (the tortillas may soften).
