Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken recommended)
- 1/2 cup your favorite BBQ sauce, plus extra for drizzling
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 4 large flour tortillas (burrito size)
- 2 cups prepared coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots)
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon celery seed (optional)
Instructions
- 1
In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, and celery seed (if using). Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Add the coleslaw mix and toss until evenly coated. Refrigerate while preparing the chicken.
- 2
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the shredded chicken and sprinkle with smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss for about 2 minutes until warmed through and fragrant.
- 3
Reduce the heat to low and pour 1/2 cup of BBQ sauce over the chicken. Stir until every shred is coated. Let simmer for 1 minute until bubbly and hot. Remove from heat.
- 4
Warm the tortillas one at a time directly over a gas flame for 15 seconds per side, or in a dry skillet over medium heat for 20 seconds per side, until soft and pliable.
- 5
Lay a warm tortilla flat. Spoon a generous line of BBQ chicken down the center, leaving about 2 inches of space at the top and bottom. Top with a large scoop of coleslaw. Drizzle with extra BBQ sauce if desired.
- 6
Fold the bottom of the tortilla up over the filling, then fold the two sides inward. Roll tightly away from you to seal. Place seam-side down. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
- 7
Slice each wrap in half on a sharp diagonal and serve immediately while the chicken is warm and the tortilla is soft.
