Ingredients

• 2 cups shredded BBQ chicken
• 1 cup coleslaw (cabbage and carrots mix)
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Soft tortillas

How to make it

1. In a bowl, mix the coleslaw, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, and sugar. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
2. Take a tortilla and place a generous amount of the shredded BBQ chicken in the center.
3. Top with a scoop of the coleslaw mixture.
4. Wrap the tortilla tightly around the filling.
5. Serve immediately or wrap in foil for a lunch on the go.

How to serve it

These wraps are best served fresh. You can enjoy them as is or pair them with chips or a side salad for a complete meal. If you’re packing them for lunch, wrapping them in foil keeps them neat and easy to carry.

How to store it

If you have leftover wraps, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one day. Keep in mind that the tortillas may become a bit soggy, so it’s best to prepare only what you need if possible.

Helpful tips

• Make the coleslaw mixture a few hours ahead to allow the flavors to meld.
• Adjust the seasoning to suit your taste; add extra vinegar for more tang, or a dash of hot sauce for some heat.

Optional variations

• For a healthier option, replace the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.
• Add extra toppings such as sliced jalapeños, cheese, or avocado for added flavor.
