cooked chicken, shredded
barbecue sauce
coleslaw mix (cabbage and carrots)
mayonnaise or Greek yogurt
lemon juice or vinegar
salt
black pepper
tortillas or wraps
green onions (optional)

Directions

I start by mixing the shredded chicken with barbecue sauce until it is well coated.

In a separate bowl, I combine the coleslaw mix with mayonnaise or Greek yogurt, lemon juice or vinegar, salt, and pepper.

I warm the tortillas slightly so they are easier to roll.

I layer BBQ chicken onto the wrap first.

I add a generous scoop of coleslaw on top.

I sprinkle green onions if I want extra flavor.

I fold the sides and roll the wrap tightly.

I slice it in half and serve immediately.

Servings and Timing

I usually make about 2–3 wraps, serving 2–3 people.
Preparation takes around 15 minutes, especially if the chicken is already cooked.

Variations

I sometimes add pickles or avocado for extra texture. If I want a spicy version, I mix hot sauce into the BBQ chicken. I can also use lettuce wraps instead of tortillas for a lighter option.

storage/reheating

I store the chicken and coleslaw separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. I assemble the wraps fresh before eating to keep them crisp. I can warm the chicken slightly, but I keep the coleslaw cold. BBQ Chicken Coleslaw Wraps
