Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Sauce

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce

Coleslaw

  • 2 cups coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots)
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing

Wrap and Toppings

  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the BBQ Chicken: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken with BBQ sauce. Mix thoroughly until all chicken pieces are evenly coated with the sauce.
  2. Make the Coleslaw: In a separate bowl, toss the coleslaw mix with ranch dressing until the vegetables are well coated and combined.
  3. Assemble the Wraps: Lay a flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon about 1/2 cup of the BBQ chicken mixture onto the center of the tortilla. Layer the coleslaw mixture on top of the chicken, then sprinkle diced tomatoes and chopped green onions over it. If desired, add shredded cheddar cheese as the final topping.
  4. Roll the Wraps: Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll tightly from the bottom up to enclose the filling completely. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and fillings.
  5. Chill for Flavor: For best taste, wrap each prepared wrap tightly in foil or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This resting period allows the flavors to meld and the wrap to firm up, making it easier to handle.

Notes

  • Use leftover cooked chicken or rotisserie chicken for convenience.
  • Substitute ranch dressing with a light mayo or Greek yogurt for a healthier option.
  • To make it gluten free, use gluten-free tortillas.
  • For added texture, consider adding sliced avocado or pickled jalapeños.
  • Can be served cold or briefly warmed in a pan or microwave before eating.
