How to Make BBQ Chicken Coleslaw Wraps
In a pan over medium heat, add shredded chicken and BBQ sauce. Stir until the chicken is heated through and fully coated. Set aside.
In a bowl, mix cabbage, carrots, mayonnaise (or yogurt), vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Warm the tortillas slightly so they’re easy to fold.
Place a portion of BBQ chicken in the center of each tortilla, then top with a generous amount of coleslaw.
Add any optional toppings you like.
Fold in the sides and roll tightly into a wrap.
How to Serve
Serve immediately while the chicken is warm and the slaw is crisp. You can cut the wraps in half for easy serving.
These wraps pair well with fries, chips, or a light salad.
Tips for Best Results
Use rotisserie chicken for convenience. Don’t overfill the wraps to keep them easy to roll. Keep coleslaw slightly chilled for the best texture contrast. Use your favorite BBQ sauce for the best flavor.
Variations
You can swap chicken for pulled beef or turkey. Use lettuce wraps instead of tortillas for a low-carb option. Add jalapeños for a spicy kick. Use a vinegar-based slaw for a lighter version.
Storage and Meal Prep
Store the chicken and coleslaw separately in the fridge for up to 3 days. Assemble wraps fresh to avoid sogginess.
Final Thoughts
BBQ Chicken Coleslaw Wraps are a quick, delicious, and satisfying meal that’s full of flavor and texture. They’re easy to make, perfect for busy days, and a great way to enjoy a balanced and tasty dish without much effort.
