How to Make BBQ Chicken Coleslaw Wraps – Step by Step

Step 1: Prep the Chicken

In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken and BBQ sauce. Mix well until the chicken is thoroughly coated.

Pro Tip: Want a smoky, sweet-spicy kick? Mix in a splash of chipotle sauce or smoked paprika.

Step 2: Make the Slaw

In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper. Add the green cabbage, red cabbage, carrots, and green onions. Toss until evenly coated.

This slaw is also amazing on tacos or as a side dish!

Step 3: Assemble the Wraps

Lay each tortilla flat. Spoon a generous amount of BBQ chicken in the center, followed by a scoop of slaw. Drizzle with a little more BBQ sauce if desired.

Step 4: Roll It Up

Fold the sides in, then roll the tortilla tightly like a burrito. Slice in half if serving immediately, or wrap in foil for later.
