Chicken Mixture
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
Coleslaw
- 2 cups coleslaw mix
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing

- 4 large tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the BBQ Chicken: In a large bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken with the BBQ sauce until the chicken is well coated with the sauce.
- Make the Coleslaw Mixture: In a separate bowl, mix the coleslaw mix with the ranch dressing until the vegetables are evenly coated.
- Warm the Tortillas: Heat the tortillas in a pan over medium heat for a few seconds on each side or warm them in the microwave for about 20 seconds to make them pliable.
- Assemble the Wraps: Spread a generous layer of the BBQ chicken mixture evenly over each warmed tortilla.
- Add Coleslaw and Cheese: Top the chicken with a portion of the ranch-dressed coleslaw, then sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the coleslaw.
- Wrap and Slice: Roll each tortilla tightly to enclose the fillings, then slice each wrap in half diagonally for easy serving.
- Serve Immediately: Serve the wraps fresh to enjoy the contrast of warm chicken and cheese with the crisp, cool coleslaw.
Notes
- You can substitute ranch dressing with a lighter Greek yogurt-based dressing for a healthier option.
- Use your favorite BBQ sauce style—spicy, smoky, or sweet—for different flavor profiles.
- To make this recipe gluten-free, use gluten-free tortillas.
- If preferred, grill the wraps lightly on a panini press for a warm, crispy finish.
- Leftover wraps are best eaten the same day to maintain freshness of the coleslaw.
