Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups cooked and shredded chicken about 2 large chicken breasts, or meat from a rotisserie chicken
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce use your favorite brand
  • 4 large flour tortillas burrito-size
  • 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup coleslaw mix
  • 0.25 cup thinly sliced red onion
  • 1 tbsp olive oil for searing

Equipment

  • 1 Skillet
  • 1 Mixing Bowl

Instructions
 

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken and BBQ sauce. Stir until the chicken is thoroughly coated.
  2. Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave to make them pliable. Lay a tortilla flat and sprinkle about 1/4 of the shredded cheese down the center. Top with the BBQ chicken mixture, coleslaw, and sliced red onion.
  3. Fold in the two sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to create a burrito-style wrap.
  4. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place the wraps seam-side down and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until they are golden brown and crispy and the cheese has melted. Slice in half and serve immediately.

Notes

Tip 1: For extra creaminess, add a drizzle of ranch dressing or a smear of cream cheese inside the wrap before adding the other fillings.
Tip 2: Don't skip searing the wraps! It gives them a wonderful crispy texture that takes them to the next level.
