Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Sauce
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken breast
- 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
Wrap Fillings
- 2 cups prepared coleslaw
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Wrap Base
- 4 large flour tortillas
Instructions
- Mix Chicken and Sauce: In a medium bowl, thoroughly coat the shredded cooked chicken breast with the barbecue sauce until well combined, ensuring every shred of chicken is covered with flavor.
- Prepare Tortillas: Heat a dry skillet over medium heat and warm each flour tortilla for 20 to 30 seconds per side until they become soft and pliable, making them easier to fold without tearing.
- Assemble Wraps: Lay each warm tortilla flat and spread about 1/2 cup of prepared coleslaw evenly along the center length of the tortilla. Then, layer on an equal portion of the barbecue chicken mixture directly over the coleslaw.
- Add Toppings: Place avocado slices and sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the chicken and coleslaw layers to add creaminess and richness to the wraps.
- Wrap and Serve: Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling to secure it, then tightly roll from the bottom upwards to form a wrap. Serve immediately while fresh and warm.
Notes
- Using warm tortillas helps prevent cracking or tearing when wrapping.
- For a spicier kick, add sliced jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce.
- Store leftovers separately to avoid soggy tortillas.
- Prepared coleslaw can be regular or a low-fat version depending on dietary preference.
