Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
  • 2 cups coleslaw mix (cabbage and carrot)
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon sugar or honey (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 large flour tortillas or wraps
  • 1 handful fresh cilantro or parsley (optional)

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, toss the shredded chicken with the barbecue sauce until evenly coated.
  • In another bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar (if using), salt, and pepper to make a light dressing for the slaw.
  • Add the coleslaw mix to the dressing and toss until everything is coated and crisp. Let it sit for a few minutes if you have time so the flavors meld.
  • Warm the tortillas briefly in a dry pan or microwave so they’re flexible.
  • Assemble the wraps: lay a tortilla on a plate, spoon a line of the BBQ chicken down the center, top with a generous handful of coleslaw, and sprinkle with cilantro or parsley if you like.
  • Fold two sides over the filling, then roll tightly from one end to the other. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
  • If you prefer a toasty finish, place the wrapped burritos seam-side down in a hot, dry skillet for 1–2 minutes per side until the outside is lightly golden.
